Best Practices

  1. API Key Security

    • Never commit API keys to version control
    • Use environment variables or secret management
    • Rotate keys periodically

  2. Model Selection

    • Start with default model for basic operations
    • Test different models for specific use cases
    • Consider cost vs. performance tradeoffs

  3. Error Handling

    • Implement proper error handling
    • Monitor API rate limits
    • Set appropriate timeouts

​
Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

  1. API Key Issues
Error: Authentication failed
