Yes, it’s possible to set an API key for programmatic access after authenticating via Google OAuth, but it depends on how the API you’re using is designed. Here's how you might achieve this: ### 1. Authenticate via Google OAuth - Use Google OAuth to log in and obtain an access token. - The token is usually included in the

Authorization

header for further API requests:

http
     Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

### 2. Obtain API Key Programmatically (if supported) - Check if the API offers an endpoint to generate or retrieve an API key after OAuth authentication. The process generally involves: - Sending the access token to an API endpoint that creates an API key. - Receiving the API key in the response. Example:

http
     POST /generate-api-key HTTP/1.1
     Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
     Content-Type: application/json

     { "scope": "desired_scope" }

Response:

json
     { "api_key": "your-api-key" }

### 3. Store and Use the API Key - Once you retrieve the API key, store it securely (e.g., in environment variables or a secrets manager). - Use the API key for programmatic requests to avoid re-authenticating via OAuth each time. ### 4. Consider OAuth Token Refresh - If your use case involves continuous programmatic interaction, you might prefer keeping OAuth tokens and refreshing them using a refresh token instead of an API key. - The API might also allow issuing long-lived tokens or keys for this purpose. ### Check API Documentation The feasibility depends on whether the API you’re using: - Supports key-based authentication alongside OAuth. - Provides an endpoint for generating or retrieving API keys after OAuth login. Would you like guidance for a specific API or platform?

something like this?

You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

instead of manually through dashboard?

@nikhil this is the question I meant to ask, but my phone keeps on kick me off.

Do correct me here, If I understood anything wrong here.

but it will create issues for these less experiences.

I am wondering whether you guys can add the support for that.

if you do not feel secure, you can add some agency keys, so that only people with agency key can do this.

I @Shubham Bajaj

I mean there r business who can afford developers

And there r business who can not

For these businesses, introducing api key might be a bit too much
