Relations between API Key Module and Other Modules

When Commerce Modules are used together in a Medusa application, the Medusa application handles building the relations between these modules.

This document showcases the relation between the API Key Module and other Commerce Modules.

Sales Channel Module

You can create a publishable API key and associate it with a sales channel. The Medusa application forms a relation between the ApiKey and the SalesChannel data models.

This is useful to avoid passing the sales channel's ID as a parameter of every request, and instead pass the publishable API key in the header of any request to the Store API route.

Learn more about this in the Sales Channel Module's documentation.
