Security posture for document API integrations
Key rotation, webhook verification, upload intent scoping, and tenant isolation patterns when Apilyn sits in your compliance boundary.
Document APIs touch sensitive bytes: contracts, statements, medical forms, and government PDFs. Treat Apilyn like any other data processor in your architecture review—keys, webhooks, and storage URLs are the primary trust boundaries.
Apilyn never asks you to embed API keys in frontends. Keys live in secret stores and are scoped to organizations. Rotate them from app.apilyn.com and update your deployment the same way you rotate database credentials.
Upload intents beat presigned chaos
Use the upload intent flow so object storage credentials are short-lived and tied to your org. Complete uploads before job creation so workers never chase half-written objects. Log upload IDs alongside job IDs for incident response.
Verify every webhook
Configure webhook endpoints with secrets rotated through the dashboard. Receivers must HMAC the raw body and compare in constant time—see sdk/samples and the sync tool webhook.hmac_verify for test vectors.
# Reject replays: check timestamp tolerance in your handler verify_apilyn_signature(raw_body, headers["Apilyn-Signature"], secret)
Network and data residency
Terminate TLS at your edge; call api.apilyn.com over HTTPS only. For regulated workloads, align retention windows and region placement with your deployment contract—enterprise profiles can restrict worker pools and storage classes.
Pair PII detection jobs with redaction policies before documents leave your controlled bucket. Accessibility and PII stages should remain separate jobs so retries and audit evidence stay legible to procurement.
Continue with the OpenAPI reference and SDK samples in the docs, or issue keys from the dashboard when you are ready to wire staging traffic.
