API authorization feature request/question

[ryanaverill]

This is really awesome, great job! If not already supported, for more old school users any interest in adding BASIC auth support instead of OAUTH?

Hi, thanks for the feedback! If I think about it, it would probably require some extra work since the system works currently only with tokens. But I will check whether we could implement this. The user would then need to provide the app key and secret in every request instead of a token i.e.:

Authorization: Basic [base64(app_key:app_secret)]

Of course this has all the disadvantages that its not possible to revoke the access for an app later on. But I will think more about it and let you know whether this would be feasible.
