API Password

Open loudotdigital opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Describe the feature you'd like to see Ability to set a password in an environment variable file (e.g., .env) and send it in the headers of API requests

Describe alternatives you've considered Using API tokens or keys instead of passwords.

Additional context This feature would allow developers to store a API password securely in an environment variable file and send it in the headers of API requests for authentication. It would provide a simple and straightforward way to protect API access without relying on external authentication providers or platform-specific mechanisms.

you do realise that the web part.. has to talk to the api, right? and for it to do that, it has to expose the password to the user, right?

and also, why are you even trying to password protect your instance?

the way I see it I can use my instance only to receive API calls, that wont be made via "the web part", and obviously I wanted to password protect it so it doenst have unauthorized calls
