Limited-Use API Keys for Secure Sharing 

Liminal’s Limited-Use API Keys allow you to embed our API in your platforms without compromising security by exposing your primary API keys.  You can use this API to give your customers real-time status & images embedded in web platforms or emails. 

The Limited-Use API supports Status, Estimated Delivery Date, BOL, and Proof.
