Cognito with API keys

[ardian-c]

Hi,

Thank you for this helpful package.

I'm trying to integrate an API that wants to use the same endpoints as the web application does. Currently, with the auth required decorator, these methods expect a certain authentication header to be sent, and that to be valid with Cognito. Is there a way I can bypass the decorator by validating the API key instead of the authentication header?

Thanks

If you're using an API key to provide authenticated access, you wouldn't need Cognito. You can simply store the API key in your database and use a lookup.
