Best Practices

Use dedicated service accounts for different integrations:
  • data-pipeline-bot: For data exports
  • ci-cd-bot: For CI/CD integrations
  • analytics-dashboard: For custom dashboards
Grant only the minimum required permissions:
# Good: Specific role for specific purpose
{
    "username": "readonly-reporter",
    "projects": [{"id": 123, "role": "consumer"}]
}
Always set expiration dates for security:
{
    "expires": "2025-12-31T23:59:59Z"
}
Rotate service account credentials periodically:
# 1. Create new service account
# 2. Update applications to use new credentials
# 3. Delete old service account
