Full definition of api key
Many smaller SaaS apps issue API keys instead of supporting OAuth. You generate a key inside the app's settings, paste it into Tiny Command, and Tiny Command sends it on every API request. Keys are typically all-or-nothing — anyone holding the key gets full account access — so they should be rotated regularly and never committed to public repos.
In practice

Common questions about api key
Where does Tiny Command store API keys?
In the connection you create for that app, which your workflows use when they call it. Treat the key like a password and rotate it if it leaks.
