API Keys
When you need one and how it is protected.
Now-playing data, listener counts and the station list are public in AzuraCast, so Auvyra can show them without a key. A key is needed for detailed song history.
Create a key
In AzuraCast, open your account menu and choose My API Keys. A key has the same permissions as the user who created it, so consider a dedicated AzuraCast user with only the access Auvyra needs.
How Auvyra protects your key
- It is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being stored, using your
ENCRYPTION_KEY - It is used only on the server and is never sent to the browser
- The form never displays it again: leave the field blank to keep the saved key
- Changing the server's host requires entering the key again, so a saved key cannot be sent to a different server
