 ## Enable or disable subscription requirement for API or product access
 
 By default when you create an API, a subscription key is required for API access. Similarly, when you create a product, by default a subscription key is required to access any API that's added to the product.

While a publisher could choose to enable unsecured (anonymous) access to certain APIs, configuring another mechanism to secure client access is recommended.
