API key authentication

Authenticate using a unique key.

API Key authentication involves providing a unique key with each API request to authenticate the calling entity.

Pros:

• Simplicity: API keys are straightforward to implement and understand.
• Scalability: API keys can be easily generated and revoked, allowing control over access.
• Granular Control: API keys can be tied to specific resources or operations, enabling fine-grained authorization.

Cons:

• Key Management: Proper management of API keys is crucial to prevent unauthorized access and key leakage.
• Limited Security: API keys alone may not provide sufficient security against sophisticated attacks and should be combined with other authentication methods for enhanced protection.
