Using OpenAI Keys with the YourTextGuru API (V2): Security Tips and Essential Precautions

With the YourTextGuru API (V2), you have the option to use your own OpenAI keys to access advanced content generation features. However, this flexibility comes with a significant responsibility: protecting your API keys from any misuse or accidental exposure.

InfoThis article guides you through best practices for securely configuring your OpenAI key and minimizing risks in case of a problem.

Why Caution Is Essential

When you provide your OpenAI key for the YourTextGuru API (V2), you authorize us to use it to generate content on your behalf. However, improper configuration of this key can result in:
  1. Excessive token consumption (e.g., due to a script running in a loop).
  2. Potentially costly quota overruns.
  3. Potential abuse if your key is compromised.

Warning
We disclaim all responsibility for any issues related to the use of your API key. Therefore, it is crucial to implement appropriate protective measures.

Creating a Key Dedicated to the YourTextGuru API (V2)

For security reasons, we strongly recommend:
  1. Create a new OpenAI key specifically dedicated to use with the YourTextGuru API (V2).
  2. Do not reuse a key already used for other projects or applications.

IdeaThis allows you to better control how the key is used and revoke it without impacting other services.

Setting Quotas and Limits

OpenAI allows you to set specific quotas for each API key. To avoid unexpected expenses or excessive consumption:
  1. Set a daily, weekly, or monthly quota.
  2. Implement strict limits based on your maximum budget.
  3. Regularly check your usage through the OpenAI dashboard.

Configuring Alerts

To be quickly notified in case of a problem, consider:
  1. Set up email alerts when a consumption threshold is reached.
  2. Monitor your usage in real-time through OpenAI's tools.

Alert
This will allow you to act quickly in the event of a malfunction.

Planning for Emergencies

No one is immune to an incident. To protect yourself effectively:
  1. Create an action plan in case of abnormal key usage.
  2. Ensure you can quickly revoke the key.
  3. Have a backup key ready for use if needed.

Our Position on Responsibility

By using your OpenAI key with the YourTextGuru API (V2), you agree that we are not responsible for any misuse or incorrect use of this key. It is your responsibility to:
  1. Set up appropriate quotas.
  2. Monitor usage.

Notes
Caution is essential. Configure your OpenAI key thoughtfully, taking all necessary precautions. If a problem arises, you must be able to immediately stop using your key and create a new one.
