Svelte Api Keys

Overview:

svelte-api-keys is a tool designed for Secure API Key Generation, Validation, and Rate Limiting for SvelteKit projects. It addresses the need to protect APIs from unwanted bots and automated requests by implementing rate limiting and secure key management.

Features:

• Fluent API integration with SvelteKit projects
• Generate secure API keys in Base62 format
• Avoid accidental inappropriate words in generated keys
• Use SHA256 hashing for storing key info
• Attach metadata like name, description, permissions, and expiry to keys
• Extract API key from various sources like searchParams, headers, cookies
• Validate keys and authorize requests based on permissions
• Support for multiple key store interfaces like In-Memory, Redis, and Firestore
• Token-Bucket Rate-limiting for API requests with tier-based limits

Installation:

To install svelte-api-keys, you can add it to your project using your preferred package manager. Here’s an example using pnpm:

pnpm install svelte-api-keys

Create a key store in your project to persist information associated with API keys. Implementation examples are provided for an in-memory store, Firestore, and Redis. Additional store implementations like RDBMS can be created by implementing a simple KeyStore interface.

Summary:

svelte-api-keys offers a comprehensive solution for securing APIs by generating secure keys, implementing rate limiting, and providing a flexible key management system. With features like key metadata attachment, various key extraction sources, and support for different key store interfaces, this tool enhances the security and performance of SvelteKit projects handling programmable access to APIs.
