This endpoint generates a new API key for the authenticated user. API keys can be used to authenticate API requests instead of using Firebase authentication. This is useful for server-to-server communication or for integrating BRX with other applications. The generated API key will have the same permissions as the authenticated user.

Notes

  • API keys are used to authenticate API requests instead of using Firebase authentication.
  • API keys have the same permissions as the authenticated user who generated them.
  • API keys should be kept secure and not shared with unauthorized users.
  • If an API key is compromised, it should be deleted using the Delete API Key endpoint.
  • There is a rate limit on API key generation to prevent abuse. If you exceed this limit, you will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response.
  • To list all API keys for the authenticated user, use the List API Keys endpoint.
  • To delete an API key, use the Delete API Key endpoint.

​
Authentication

To use an API key for authentication, include it in the key header of your API requests: 
key: brx_api_12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890abcdef
API keys can be used for all API endpoints that support authentication.
