API keys are passwords, so protect them like you would any other password.

3. Use API Gateways to Monitor and Control Access

Most organizations have a variety of APIs that they use for different purposes. Some may be used by customers or partners while others are intended for internal consumption only. For example, an organization might offer a public-facing API that enables third parties to access its products and services while also providing an internal API that allows employees to programmatically interact with the company’s systems and data stores from their own applications without exposing those resources directly on the internet.

tl;dr: An API gateway can help ensure your APIs operate safely in production environments as well as during development and testing phases
