Hi there,

We found an exposed HuggingFace API key in this repository (ending in ...JmAV).

What happened: Your API key was committed to a public file and is visible to anyone. It has been viewed 7,813 times.

Recommended steps:

  1. Revoke or rotate this key immediately
  2. Check your billing dashboard for unexpected charges
  3. Generate a new key and store it in environment variables or a secrets manager
  4. Add your key patterns to a .gitignore or use tools like git-secrets to prevent future leaks

This was detected by Unsecured API Keys, a security awareness tool that scans public repositories for accidentally exposed credentials.

Stay safe out there.
