# use-api-key
API key primitives for RustUse.
Models key identifiers, prefixes, safe redaction, key metadata, and key status labels without generating cryptographic secrets.
## Example
```rust
use use_api_key::{ApiKeyStatus, ApiKeyId};
let value = ApiKeyId::new("sk_live_example").expect("valid API primitive");
assert_eq!(value.as_str(), "sk_live_example");
assert_eq!(ApiKeyStatus::Active.to_string(), "active");
```
## Scope
- Small validated types for API metadata.
- Stable display labels and conservative parsing helpers.
- Dependency-light primitives that can be reused by other RustUse crates.
## Non-goals
- No key generation.
- No cryptographic storage.
- No authentication checks.
