Is it okay if I share my api token with someone so they can help building my website for a one time thing?
Topic summary
Main Question:
Jason222 asks whether it’s safe to share an API token with someone helping build their website for a one-time task.
Response & Recommendation:
- Bundler-Manuel advises against sharing API tokens due to security risks
- Suggested alternative: Add the person as a collaborator on the project instead
- This approach allows them to complete necessary work without accessing sensitive API credentials
Status: The question received a clear recommendation, though no confirmation from the original poster on whether they’ll follow this advice.
Hey there Jason @Jason222 sharing your API token is just too risky a decision in my opinion. Your best course of action would be to add them as collaborators on the project. They should be able to do everything they need to do that way without gaining access to your API tokens.
