# Best Practices *** Follow these best practices while working with APIs. * **Do not share your API Key secret with anyone or on any public platforms.** This can pose security threats for your GlobalTopUp account. * While sending API requests to GlobalTopUp servers, it is recommended to honour the TTL of the entries and not cache the DNS aggressively at your end. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.globaltopup.in/introduction/best-practices.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
