SaaS APIs typically require some kind of authentication to allow access. While there are many ways that APIs can implement authentication, one popular choice is using secret keys as the scheme. Exposing secret keys directly to a client application however can create security risks, so how can client applications based on libraries like React securely access SaaS services? Many APIs, including Ably, offer an additional client-oriented token authentication system.

The java.text.ParseException is a checked exception in Java that signals an unexpected error while parsing an input. This typically happens when the input does not match the expected format. Since ParseException is a checked exception, it must be explicitly handled in methods that can throw this exception - either by using a try-catch block or by throwing it using the throws clause.
