Adding and Generating API keys#
It is important to understand the difference between the Add API Key and Generate secured API Key methods.
For example:
Add API keyis executed on the Algolia server;Generate Secured API keyis executed on your own server, not Algolia’s.- Keys added appear on the dashboard; keys generated don’t.
- You add keys that are fixed and have very precise permissions. They are often used to target specific indices, users, or application use-cases. They are also used to generate Secured API Keys.
