How to store API keys in a WPF application?

Question

API

What is the best way to store keys and secrets for using third party APIs in a WPF (C#) application? The Azure KeyVault option doesn't work.
It is possible to use your own server, but at the same time I would like to do without proxying all requests to the API through it, but simply get the key / secret, while the user cannot intercept it and use it for his own purposes. Perhaps there are ready-made solutions for such tasks?

Answer 1

Skip https connections to api only with the certificate that is used on the api site.
Get the keys themselves via https from your server with a self-signed certificate, do not allow other certificates.
