Hey guys,

Im interested what kind of information a shared API Key can reveal to whoever gets it - and where are the Privacy/Security Limits?
Any documentation about that available?

They can see your mail titles, that's the worst of it. Can't be worse than your name.

How about input i make? Screens of whats happening in the Torn-Tab?

It can see your other browser tabs but I'm sure you have nothing shady there!

Also any way to check in detail what the descriptions in the API request real time list mean for those cases where its not clear from the description itself?

Mean these f.e.: " /user/284195?selections= " (digits changed just in case)

Input your API key at the following website, belonging to Torn:
https://www.torn.com/api.html#

...and experiment for yourself. Anything which can be seen with the API, you'll be able to pull up there
