Term confusion ApiKey / NOVU_SECRET_KEY #836
Description
This happens a lot throughout the docs, but let me point out just this case:
Page: https://docs.novu.co/api-reference/overview
Authentication Header
`--header 'Authorization: ApiKey <NOVU_SECRET_KEY>'``
Description says "Authentication for the Novu API involves the use of an API Key, which is a secure credential that is tied to your Novu account."
For someone coming to novu for the first time, this needs clarity:
- Production Api Key from the dashboard?
- Developement Api Key from the dashboard?
- VM: Novu/Docker/Community/.env "NOVU_SECRET_KEY" ?
These keys have entirely different scopes and it takes a long time to get a grip of what you're actually referring to. This confusion makes integrating with novu a longer process than it should be. Bigger learning curve just to get things working.
In this specific case: the intention is to use the api key from the dashboard: production or development environment.
Thanks to everyone's contributions. 🙏
