    Hello @chantaspell,

    First of all, thank you for your review.

    The Auth Key gives comes with three strong points:
    1. It gives extra security to your endpoint(it acts like a secret key). In order to achieve this, you should use an intermediate script (on the backend) and from the frontend, you should call this script instead of the API endpoint.
    2. You can create different user types based on the API Key that is provided.
    3. You can limit the period of creating users by setting an expiration date to an API key

    Best regards,
    Nicu.

    Hi thanks for taking the time to reply! Actually, I should have thought about putting it in an intermediate script server side…pretty dense of me!

    Cheers
