Create keys in Developer tools. Vantage shows the full key once. Store it in a server-side secret manager and never expose it to browsers, mobile apps, logs, or source control.

Scopes

Use the smallest set needed. Add an expiry and IP or CIDR allowlist where your egress addresses are stable.

Key state

A key stops working when it expires, is revoked, its creator is disabled or moved, or its institution becomes inactive. Revocation takes effect immediately.

Rotation

  1. Create a replacement with the same or narrower access.
  2. Update callers and confirm the new key’s last_used_at.
  3. Revoke the old key.
