Is the user/passwd also applied to the json api ?

Hi,

If we want to access the json api of datasette, how could we use this plugin ? I understand the http basic authentication should be the option, something like:

curl -u username:password url

and without the user/passwd, the api does not work. Please could you confirm ?

Thanks !

Yes, this plugin does affect the JSON API and you can use the basic authentication option to enable API access through that mechanism: https://github.com/simonw/datasette-auth-passwords#http-basic-authentication-option

You might also want to install the datasette-auth-tokens https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-auth-tokens which can be installed at the same time as this plugin to enable authentication tokens for APIs.
