description: Recommendations for using Context7 securely across credentials, repository access, and network usage
---
These recommendations cover how to use Context7 securely across credentials, repository access, and network usage.
## Secure Your API Keys
- Never commit API keys to version control
- Use environment variables for key storage
- Rotate keys regularly
- Use different keys for different environments
- Revoke unused or compromised keys immediately
## Private Repositories
For private repository access:
- Only grant minimum required permissions
- Use dedicated API keys for private repos
- Regularly audit access permissions
- Consider using GitHub Apps with fine-grained permissions
## Network Security
- Use HTTPS for all API communications (enforced)
- Configure proxy settings securely if behind a firewall
- Monitor API usage for unusual patterns
- Implement request timeouts and retries
