ZebPay employs multiple security layers to protect API access: IP address whitelisting restricts API calls to pre-approved IP addresses only; your Secret Key is shown only once at generation and must be stored securely by you; OTP-based verification is required during key creation; and role-based permissions let you restrict what actions each API key can perform (e.g., read-only vs. trading access). ZebPay recommends never sharing your API keys and rotating them periodically.
