NEW: Better permissions and controls for Web API Keys
The new permissions tools for Steamworks Web API keys enable developers to specify which API methods can be accessed, including microtransactions, sales data, and general API calls. This change is particularly important for studios managing sensitive user data, as it enhances security and control over API usage.
Developers can now tailor their API keys more precisely to their needs, which could lead to better security practices and more efficient workflows. Existing keys remain unchanged, but studios may want to consider generating new keys or adjusting permissions to align with their specific use cases. For detailed management instructions, developers can refer to the updated API Key documentation.
