Service access key
The service access key is used to make requests to the VK API when user authorization is not required. Such requests are considered to be executed on behalf of the game, mini-application, Standalone-application. The service access key is also called the application access key.
The method of obtaining the access key depends on the type of application from which the request to the VK API is made:
Method of obtaining | For which applications | Where to use |
|---|---|---|
A game or mini-app | Server side of the application | |
Any application or website (Standalone application) | Server side of the application |
