API keys and tokens: what to hide

Use this hub for API keys and tokens: what to hide: privacy-first checklists and workflows when working with JSON/CSV/XML, tokens, or logs (no upload).

TL;DR: Validate locally, pinpoint the failing spot, apply the minimal fix, then validate again.

Fast no-upload workflow

  1. Validate the input (strict rules, correct encoding, correct delimiter/quotes).
  2. Locate the exact position/line reported by the parser or validator.
  3. Fix the smallest broken part (often a quote, escape, delimiter, or a truncated copy/paste).
  4. Re-validate and only then convert/export.
