## Tips & Tricks[¶](#tips-tricks "Permanent link")

Do not distribute the api\_key to consumers. This should be stored securely and calls to the Shipp API should be routed through an edge function. This edge function is a good place to use `since` & `limit` as well to avoid abuse by users / adversaries potentially inflating costs.

Our API is designed to be used directly at runtime. This means there is no configuration for caching or sophisticated database setups to save our data. We're always improving our systems to make sure that data is delivered as fast as possible and make long-term maintenance reliable and easy.

Include a footer credit to Shipp when using our APIs. See the example
