API Request with Optional Authentication

[ericevans-nv]

Description

This feature implements the ability to send API requests with optional authentication, handled automatically on the user’s behalf. Users can upload their authentication credentials via the main AIQ configuration file, then call the make_api_request function to send authenticated or non-authenticated requests and handle the appropriate responses. The library builds and sends the HTTP request, managing any necessary authentication using OAuth 2.0 or API keys based on the provided configuration. The corresponding front-end UI consent prompt (aiq-auth) page, which enables users to log into their API provider via delegated access, has already been merged. However, the corresponding pull request can be found below.
