The api accepts information like api dev key etc. and same has bot been reflected in database design?
-
If the parts of the url are url encoded, then how it can be a problem for the solution as mentioned in tutorial?
Hi @rahul9!
-
API dev keys are traditionally not stored in the database, because they are not a part of the user’s information, rather something the developers use on the backend. Hence, it is not necessary to store them in the database. Plus, storing them in a database would be a bad practice because it leaves your APIs vulnerable to a breach.

URL encoding might not shorten URLs at all, as shown in the lesson. It might just replace some characters with others.
I hope this helps!
