How do API Keys work?

Endpoints manage API keys and, with the application,web-based interface generally referred to as projects by developers. Although API keys are not very strong, like authentication tokens it can provide a security layer to identify the project behind a call. Developers can write a code for API keys to restrict or block project usage to specified scenarios or a range of IP addresses. 

For example, the keys verify end-user authorization by determining if calls have received permission to access a specific application service. This is an essential function because end-users may have authorized access to some but not all of the individual services within an application.

Note: Buster tool also uses the hunter.io website to get information from company emails. The starting searches “company email” don’t require a key (API). If you want company emails, we suggest that you should sign up for an account on hunter.io.

When you get the API key, add it to the file “api-keys.yaml” and rerun the following command.

python3 setup.py install
