Hello everyone! I recently started playing around with Airbyte, I had a question about the API: Is there a way to enforce authentication through API tokens on the endpoints? There is a section here to provide a Bearer token to be used under the “Authentication” section, but it doesn’t seem to be enforced. Our use case would be to be able to programmatically set-up airflow without having to use the UI, but in a secure way. Thanks!

Ah, apologies, I just found this - I suppose this is the recommended way to secure then, e.g. setup basic auth through nginx and provide network restrictions

Hi @Zacharias Markakis, there are indeed no auth mechanisms for our API endpoints in our open source version at the moment. We suggest securing access to Airbyte and its API with the methods suggested in the documentation you found.

Thank you!
