The problem:
// Don't do this!
const apiKey = "sk-..."; // โ Exposed in bundle
Anyone can extract it. Then abuse your quota. ๐ธ
The fix: Proxy through AIBridge (or your own backend).
# Backend: AIBridge handles auth
client = OpenAI(
api_key="mb_your_key", # โ Never exposed
base_url="https://aibridge-api.com/v1"
)
# Frontend: Calls YOUR backend only
fetch("/api/ai", { method: "POST", body: ... })
Why AIBridge helps: โ
Keys never leave your backend
โ
Usage analytics (spot abuse early)
โ
Rate limiting built-in
โ
One key for 14+ models
