Request token to make request

LibreTranslate API
1

Hello,

I have correctly configured the environment and it works correctly, but any user can make requests.

I would like to configure the API so that it can only be done using a token, but --require-api-key-origin does not work for me and the machine returns a 502.

How would you do with this configuration?

Thanks.

You need to use --api-keys along with --req-limit 0. Then issue an API key with high request limits. This will effectively only allow requests with an API key (all others will be denied).

Hello,

I currently have it this way:

And it works properly. The api responds the following:

Slowdown: 0 per 1 minute

But I would like to reply this message:

Please contact the server operator to obtain an API key

I modify the service like this:

And I get the 502 error.

I’m doing something wrong …

You don’t need to set require_api_key_origin.

Instead, run:

python manage.py keys add 999999

This will give you the API key you need to use for your requests.
