REST API Public APIs Access

Want to restrict the direct access to public APIs, or disable plugin authentication on some specific API? You can do it using the following options:

Restrict Access to Public APIs

Public APIs typically allow anonymous access without the need for authentication, promoting ease of use and openness. However, for added security or specific use cases, you have the option to configure the API with the "Restrict Access to Public APIs" feature, which introduces a layer of authentication. By enforcing authentication on a public API, you can implement controlled access and gain additional insights into user interactions.

Bypass API from Authentication

The option to “Bypass API Authentication” disables authentication for specific APIs through the plugin. It's important to note that even when authentication from the plugin is bypassed for specified APIs, default authentication settings may still apply. This ensures a layered security approach, allowing organizations to selectively exempt certain APIs from authentication requirements.
