POST api endpoint
I just bought a Jumpstart Pro license. Looking forward to "jumpstart" our project.
I need to set up a POST endpoint that updates a project. The one that makes the POST request with relevant parameters/info comes from AWS Lambda and API Gateway. My question is how do I protect the POST endpoint? I don't want anyone to be able to post to it. Should I use authorization token the way that's described in the doc here: https://jumpstartrails.com/docs/api. I could create an api-only user and generate an authorization token for it, then give the authorization token to whatever that's making the POST request. Receiving updates from AWS Lambda/API Gateway is important in our project, so I want to make sure we are doing it correctly in our Jumpstart app.
Thank you in advance.

The API is currently setup to authorize API tokens from users.
You have a couple options:

The API is currently setup to authorize API tokens from users.
You have a couple options:
- Use an API Token that is associated with your account in the app. Then effectively the POST requests will be authenticated as you and have your permissions.
- Add your own authentication like a http basic auth check. You can skip the API token authentication and use that for your special endpoint since it's more of a system end point, not something that needs a user connected to it.
