Possible to write a publicly accessible service with just an API key?

The example file is definitely not as well-tested as the rest of the implementations, so if you’re seeing something weird there, then probably best to look towards one of the other functioning services instead.

requires_token() is there to basically just set up the condition by which we can confirm if there’s a token before trying to add authentication headers and make requests. As you can see if you look through some of the code though, all of the services currently require a token (since that’s kind of the point of Keyring existing).

Definitely understand!

Don’t get me wrong, love this plugin!

I do, however, still think there is room for using it to store your API Keys for public api’s such if you just need publicly accessible data from an API in another keyring-based plugin like the importer I’m making.

I’ll play with the code and see what I come up with, think I may be getting somewhere.

If there’s something public that you can access using an existing service, you could possibly write an extension of that service (and extend its class), and in that extended version, just call requires_token( false ).

(I haven’t tried that, just throwing out an idea ?? )
