Also known as: apikey, API token
A long random string tied to an indexer account that authenticates API requests in place of a username and password. It appears as the apikey parameter in every query, so it travels in URLs and server logs and should be treated as a credential. Regenerating the key on the indexer's profile page immediately invalidates the old one and requires updating every tool that stored it.
