# Get API keys

> Learn how to generate and manage your Duix API keys for secure authentication with Duix services.

## Overview

**API keys** are the credentials used to authenticate your application with **Duix services**.\
They allow you to send authorized API requests and manage Interactive AI avatars programmatically.

<Warning>
  Never share your API keys publicly. Treat them like passwords and store them securely — for example, in environment variables or a secrets manager.
</Warning>
