richfab commented 1 year ago

Some private feeds require an API Key to be fetched. It would be useful to add the API Key authentification method to validate such feeds.

What exactly does «API Key» mean in this context?

I was thinking API Key in the context of a unique identifier used to authenticate the client to the server. The API Key is passed in the request header, such as X-API-KEY: key. Thoughts?

I think the header name should be configurable, since “x-api-key” is non-standard, and it may vary what people use in the field.

Good point. I made the header name configurable. Thank you!
