QuickBase New Authentication Method (via usertokens)

Closed this issue · 4 comments

QuickBase announced they will be deprecating the current authentication mechanism (via apptokens) in favor of more granular usertokens.

According to their API Docs, usertokens are more flexible as you do not need to send a POST request to API_Authenticate to retrieve an <auth_ticket>. Instead, once you've generated a usertoken, you can simply submit it as part of the params.

PR to follow shortly to support usertokens.

Closing this issue as a similar branch has been merged:

Was the apptoken auth method deprecated in the 0.1.0 version? Is the usertoken only working?...btw Quick Base isn't removing the apptoken auth, the usertoken is just an alternative.

From my conversations with QuickBase technical reps, they indicated plans to deprecate apptokens, but no specific timelines.

Seems odd as having it be user specific is limiting in some cases, i.e. custom js actions.
