I’m creating a shortcut for Apple platforms that uses the Trakt API, and I want to make sure I’m following best practices.
My shortcut makes a single call to the Trakt API to get a user’s watch history for the current day. It’s meant to be used once per day, certainly not more than a few times in a day.
When I distribute the shortcut, would it be appropriate to include my app’s API key? Or should I direct users to sign up for their own?
I don’t want users to hit a rate limit if several people are using the shortcut at the same time, though I don’t think that would be a problem if rate limits are based on IP address. The API key will be stored in plain text and user-accessible as Shortcuts actions can’t be concealed or locked.
What would be the best way of going about this?
