API key Authentication

API Key Authentication in KrakenD

API key authentication enables a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and a rate-limiting mechanism based on an API key passed by the client. For the desired endpoints, KrakenD rejects requests from users who do not provide a valid key, users trying to access a resource with insufficient permissions for their role, or exceeding the defined quota.
