Secure your API Key by whitelisting your domains and server IPs.
API security helps to prevent unauthorized use of your api key and token theft. You can control what IP addresses and host can use your API key.
When using the IpForensics API from your website in Javascript, you may worry that anyone would be able to see your API key and steal your tokens; creating a whitelist allows you to restrict the hosts from where your API key can be used.
Once you secure your API key will not work from anywhere else other than the hosts you have specified
You can whitelist multiple domains, sub-domains or IP addresses.
Enter multiple origins separated by commas and no spaces e.g yourwebsite.com,subdomain.yourwebsite.com
Enter IP addresses separated by commas and no spaces e.g 127.0.0.1,192.168.4.5,...
You can include or exclude the "https://" or "http://" url part.
To ensure API Security, login to your dashboard and navigate to API Security page https://ipforensics.net/api/security
