19:21 sulaiman Hello.
19:23 sulaiman I have noticed that some APIs require an API Key through a query parameter, and some require it through an HTTP Header. I am designing my own API, which is a better design, or is it just preference?
19:34 sulaiman "REST parameters specify the variable parts of your resources", since API KEY isn't part of the resource, I think it would be more suitable to pass it with the header?
19:35 sulaiman should query parameters be assumed optional?
19:36 impl i mean, the authorization header is there for a reason
20:14 whartung yea, I'm with impl
20:14 whartung folks use query parameters for lazy clients

21:38 pdurbin sulaiman: one consequence of putting the API key in a query parameter is that it will often be logged by the web server (along with the path). you may not want this
