Advanced tools
This is a fork of seamapi/prefixed-api-key. Seam-style API Keys have many advantages:
API keys look like this:
myapp_BRTRKFsL_51FwqftsmMDHHbJAMEXXHCgG
Let's break down each component of the API key...
myapp ..._... BRTRKFsL ..._... 51FwqftsmMDHHbJAMEXXHCgG
^ ^ ^
Prefix Key ID Secret
apiKey
can be blocklisted by its Key ID.key_id
and hash(secret)
.import { generateAPIKey } from '@bencmbrook/prefixed-api-key';
const key = await generateAPIKey({ keyPrefix: 'myapp' });
// Store the key.secretHash and key.keyId in your database and give
// key.apiKey to your customer.
console.log(key);
