Fastest way to have signup for your API
Even without payment integration, what is the fastest way to have signup-wall before your API?
I've used firebase before (+Paddle for payments) and I can copy&paste from my previous project, I just wonder if there's any faster way.
What I want to achieve - I have an API that I want developers to be able to signup, get a token, and then start using.
Thoughts?
This is one of the fastest I've seen in a while: https://docs.coinapi.io (top right, "get a free API key"). The email you get just has a key in it that you start using.
I pay for coinapi and the logged-in experience doesn't change the site really at all, so the docs could be more interatable if you were logged in and the examples were runnable/copy+paste-able with your key (e.g. swagger style, stripe).
Interesting concept.
User leaves an email, and gets back a token. No login, no session....
Could work for start to test the concept. Thanks!
Are you wanting only a specific list of developers to be able to sign up and access the API?
E.g. you have a Beta list for your app.
No, anyone should be able to sign up
