Feature Requests Add a read-only API key with read access to all endpoints

Open

I’d like to have a read-only API key for server-side use that has read access to all endpoints.

Currently, there’s only two options:

  • The read-only API key (advertised as “for js integrations”) can only access a limited set of data-providing API endpoints.
  • The super-powered API key provides write access. That might impose an unnecessary security risk.

I maintain an MVC application that retrieves data from updown.io’s API for server-side rendering. The API key is only accessible to the server’s administrators. I’ve used the read-only API key for least privilege access, as the application will only ever use read access under all circumstances. Unfortunately, this locks it out from a few endpoints that would provide more detailed data.
