I see some App integrations such as Airtable ask you for a private key for Auth.

What are the pros/cons of this?

What is the typical route people use for Authentication?

Hi @Sebastian Patten 

 

It depends on the API and the Authentication procedure used in the API. If you are trying to build a private integration, you need to check the API Documents of the app you are trying to connect to.
