# API keys

> Create and manage secret or publishable keys for controlled integration access.

## What it is

API keys let your org control how external systems authenticate to Sippet.

In the current console you can create keys with:

* a name
* a key type
* an optional expiry

## Key types

* `Secret`: for trusted backend systems and server-side automation
* `Publishable`: for tightly scoped client-side or public workflows where supported

## Recommended usage

* use secret keys for backend RPC access and sensitive integrations
* rotate keys regularly
* give each integration its own named key instead of sharing one org-wide value
