Possibility of adding an API key instead of webUI auth?

Open justinross opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

I'm fiddling with using iOS Shortcuts to add torrents via this plugin, and having some trouble getting the cookie (limitation of me and Shortcuts, not deluge-webapi). This got me thinking it would be a lot easier to just generate an api key in the webapi preferences pane and use that for auth for each request, rather than cookies.

Anyway, not a big deal. Just something I thought would be useful.

Thanks for the plugin!

Thank you. That's interesting, yet it'll require a substantial amount of work and usage of some kind of a decent protocol (e.g. OAuth2) to be more or less secure.
