Add API Deploy Feature

[josehelps]

We have a light implementation of how to implement deploy through API but still missing Analytic Stories objects and Lookups through the API.

There was a github PR opened to add auth via token, but it has been closed since we should revisit implementing this feature as a core functionality.

Hello,

We use your nice tool (v3.0.2) and about your future implementation of api_deploy (that it's a very good news), could it be possible to add a secure way to authenticate through splunk ? (instead of username/password/token in clear text in contentctl.yml). Maybe the possibility to add args via command line to "def api_deploy(args)" like username and password. This will allow us to put github environment variable in our workflow like this :

• name: Deploy the app on Splunk env: USER: ${{ secrets.SPLUNK_USERNAME }} PWD: ${{ secrets.SPLUNK_PASSWORD }} run: contentctl api_deploy -u ${USER} -p ${PWD}

Thank you very much !
