    console.log('Active Key:', keys.activeKey);
    console.log('Posting Key:', keys.postingKey);
    console.log('Memo Key:', keys.memo_key);

Security Notes

1. Always use HTTPS in production
2. Keep your API key secure
3. Implement proper error handling in your client applications
4. Consider implementing additional security measures like IP whitelisting
5. Regularly rotate your API keys
6. Monitor your API usage for suspicious activity

Important Notes

• The service uses the configured creator account to create new accounts
• Each new account receives the configured amount of VESTS delegation (if enabled)
• The posting authority includes accounts specified in POSTING_AUTHORITIES
• Make sure to securely store the returned keys as they cannot be recovered if lost
• Keep your API key secure and never share it publicly
