API Keys: No Really, We're Listening
Since Monday we’ve been sending out invites to the private beta (if you haven’t gotten yours yet, be patient, it’s coming). And we’ve gotten a lot of great feedback on how to make the service better. One suggestion that came from a few users was to allow database access to non-Cloudant users through API keys that can be shared with anyone. Well, your requests did not fall on deaf ears. For any of your databases you can now navigate to the permissions tab and create a database-specific API key and password. You can then set permissions for that key as if it were a Cloudant user. The screenshot below shows what that should look like. Thanks to everyone for the great suggestion. You keep the feature requests coming and we’ll get to them as fast as we can.
