ReqKey handles API key authentication, usage credits, rate limiting, and request analytics for an API you own. A single verify call from your own middleware validates the caller's key, deducts a credit from that consumer's pool, enforces their rate limit, and logs the request — no proxy or gateway in front of your service.
Single-line addition using the section's asterisk bullet format.
