key_format:
  prefixes:
  - prefix: asa_live_
    meaning: Production traffic
  - prefix: asa_test_
    meaning: Sandbox keys (roadmap only - not yet live; would return deterministic fixtures and never bill)
  shortprefix: 12 characters after the prefix identify a key in the dashboard and logs without revealing the secret
management:
  console: https://app.amazonscraperapi.com
  max_active_keys_per_workspace: 20
  rotation: Generate a second key, deploy, revoke the old one; revocation is global within ~30 seconds and revoked keys return 401 {"error":"revoked"}
  usage_retention_after_revoke: 90 days
notes:
- Unauthorized (401) requests are never billed.
- Keys are workspace-scoped; the monthly credit allowance is per workspace, not per key.
- IP allow-lists are on the roadmap for Pro and Custom plans.
