How can I avoid exposing the OpenAI API Key to the public?

[RodrigoBertotti]

Hi, I'm new to Anse and Astro

Is there a risk of exposing the OpenAI key by putting it in the on .env file? If so, how can I secure the OpenAI key?

Thank you

Yes, you can put the API Key in .env file, but never upload it. It should be excluded from git version control.

Anse does not currently have an environment variable feature, but chatgpt-demo does. Deployment platforms such as Vercel can manually enter environment variables, which you should fill in there.
