Usually the simplest way is leveraging environment variables. You can set the API key as one on the remote server, then you can get it with `API_KEY = os.environ.get("API_KEY")`. That's a Python-specific example - but hopefully you get the idea.

There are other services that manage securely saving/storing these keys rather than just hosting it on the server itself (e.g. AWS Secrets Manager)
