🔒 Security Best Practices

⚠️ Important: API Keys are sensitive credentials. Follow these security practices.

✅ Recommended Methods

🔑 Environment Variable Setup

# Temporary (current session)
export ARK_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Permanent (add to shell config)
echo 'export ARK_API_KEY="your-api-key"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

# Verify (should show first 4 characters)
echo $ARK_API_KEY | head -c 4

🔐 Config File Security

# Create config
mkdir -p ~/.volcengine
cat > ~/.volcengine/config.yaml << 'EOF'
api_key: "your-api-key"
base_url: "https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/v3"
EOF

# Set permissions (CRITICAL!)
chmod 700 ~/.volcengine
chmod 600 ~/.volcengine/config.yaml

❌ Prohibited Actions

🔄 Key Rotation

# Rotate every 90 days (recommended)
# 1. Generate new key in Volcengine console
# 2. Update environment/config
# 3. Verify new key works
# 4. Delete old key

⚙️ Configuration

Environment Variables

Configuration File

Location: ~/.volcengine/config.yaml

# api_key: "your-api-key"  # Recommended: use environment variable
base_url: "https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/v3"
timeout: 30
max_retries: 3
output_dir: "./output"

Priority Order

1. Environment variable ARK_API_KEY ⭐ Recommended
2. Project config .volcengine/config.yaml
3. Global config ~/.volcengine/config.yaml
4. Default values

💾 Data Persistence

Security Tips:
