Hey there you know how sometimes things get a little…well clunky? That’s what our Public API authorization was starting to feel like.
But fear not we’ve shaken things up and made it as smooth as a freshly paved road.
So What’s New?
Think of it like this: our old system was like having to pull out your keys unlock the door and then manually type in your password every time you wanted to get inside.
It worked but it was a bit of a hassle right?
Now it’s all about a simple secure key.
You generate a unique API key and it acts like your golden ticket to access all the cool features in the SmartProxy dashboard.
Why This Change?
We’re always looking for ways to make things better faster and more secure for our users.
This update is all about simplifying your workflow and giving you more control over how you use our API.
Easier Access for Your Applications
Imagine you’re building a web scraping tool.
You’re tired of the old “username:password” dance every time your app needs to pull data.
Now you can just toss in that API key and your app is good to go accessing our powerful residential proxies without any extra steps.
Enhanced Security and Control
That API key is like a special passcode ensuring that only you and your authorized applications have access to your proxy data.
What Can You Do With a Key?
let’s get into the juicy details.
Here are a few things you can do with your brand-new shiny API key:
- Manage Traffic Limits: Need to set limits for specific applications or users? Your API key lets you control the amount of traffic your proxy users can consume ensuring you stay within your limits.
- Whitelist Your Favorite IPs: Want to allow access to your API only from specific IP addresses? The API key makes this a breeze adding an extra layer of security.
- Add a Sub-user: Need to give someone else access to your account? The API key lets you create a sub-user with specific permissions so you can manage things efficiently.
How to Get Your API Key
It’s easier than ever to get your hands on a shiny new key.
Just follow these simple steps:
- Log In: Head over to your SmartProxy dashboard and sign in with your account details.
