Ask HN: What's the recommended method of adding authentication to a REST API?
From the cheap seats (as I am a liberal arts major) and currently an entrepreneur trying to launch some microservices for my resume editing and other professional services business using R-project and the plumbing api creator package.  What about a fairly lengthy random password provided to clients (human beings) they input into the intake form using Typeform, then the underlying code checks for it in the "authorized" file and removes it after 1 time use? The form feeds the api inputs directly.TIA.
