Is there a way to authenticate a call with an ApiKey or UserName/ApiKey method?

For the REST API, only HTTPS Basic authentication is supported with username and password. The PowerShell API client also supports Windows authentication (Kerberos).

Is there any roadmap for developing key, token or cert based auth for the API we can use from python?

Thanks

We are not currently planning any changes to REST API auth. Could you elaborate on what you are looking for?

As a network engineer I have other technology teams that would benefit from having a read-only API key for automation, but don't need web or UI access. Being able to have a set of read-only API keys would be greatly beneficial.
