After generating an API key, you can then copy and paste it into your commands as needed.

<Info>
  Warning: Always handle your API keys securely. Do not expose them in client-side code or share them publicly. Store them in a secure location, such as
  environment variables, and rotate them regularly to minimize security risks. If compromised, regenerate your API key immediately. For public repositories,
  store API keys in a .env file and add .env to .gitignore to prevent accidental exposure in your codebase.
