Hey, this is a way to keep your API Keys out of the git repo, but it will still expose them on the browser. To avoid this you can set up the infra for a serverless function from scratch or use something like Netlify Functions to act as a proxy as others have stated (make sure to add CORS to protect unwanted browser calls). I would personally use KOR Connect, it allows me to secure my API keys with a new public endpoint provided by KOR and I not have to worry about .gitignore in my repo, nor do I have to worry about the keys in the frontend. KOR Connect also secures calls from the origin from on or off the browser (no other service does this, pretty cool). Plus it's free! lol Here is a blog I was reading about this before I tried it dev.to/korconnect/quickest-way-to-...
Hope this is helpful, happy coding!
