rp
11/05/2022, 4:22 PMDo you mean how to use the api key in postman to query the core?
rp
11/05/2022, 4:22 PMIt goes as a header in the request. The header key is “api-key”

tymek65
11/05/2022, 4:23 PMAlso one more thing, how could I add a username for user? Should I add it in metada?
tymek65
11/05/2022, 4:23 PMAnd will that metadata be returned when logging in?
r
rp
11/05/2022, 4:24 PMYea. You can add that in the username. And you can fetch it during login. Yes. But it won’t enforce username uniqueness across users
