API key

A secret code that lets an app control your account. Never give it to anyone or paste it into a chat.

The fuller meaning

A credential that lets software access an account programmatically, often with trading or withdrawal permissions. The safe-AI routine treats API keys like passwords: never share them with any AI tool or person, because anything pasted into a chat may be stored.
