This feature adds a new authorization policy which checks against the
X-Api-Key
header. This header & auth policy replace all instances of[AllowAnonymous]
(with the exception of login/logout). This adds a protective layer against anonymous scraping.So long as the correct header and secret is supplied, the request will succeed. otr-web is supplied this secret, but random users will not have access to this. Now, "anonymous" resources are accessible through platforms which we give the access to, rather than being completely open to the entire internet.
