I am using the API connector when setting up my API. Authorization takes place with a secret key. But each user must provide their own private key. I store the secret key in the database, there are no problems with that. How do I make the secret key dynamic in the API connector? [http://joxi.ru/krDY1z7uGjPzZm](http://joxi.ru/krDY1z7uGjPzZm) ---

One of the ways is to create public API endpoints in the backend section. I mean, you create a workflow that makes an API call to the 3rd party with the private key that you store in the DB - and then returns data. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/8/f/8f56ac9e3cb57ceefcbe46eb49ef61d4ec2380fe.png) Then, you can trigger the created API workflows via the API connector. So, the created workflows make requests with the parameter set as a public one (which allows using it dynamically). Of course, you may need to add a kind of validation to ensure that the right user triggers your public API endpoints. I mean, you will need to send some extra parameters via the API connector. But, the good thing is that the private keys won’t be exposed. ---

Not sure if I understood you correctly. But I’ll try anyway, hope it helps. Thank you. ---

@wwweb2401 another solution is to read the API Key from Url (using [bubble.io](http://bubble.io) “Get data from Url”), Example: [appname.bubbleapps.io/page1?token=A3BN58TH2](http://appname.bubbleapps.io/page1?token=A3BN58TH2) ---

@holdup.design Unfortunately this option does not work. I am making an API call to an application that is not embedded in the bubble, so I am unable to configure “Get data from url”. Also, passing keys by URL is insecure. ---

Ок. Спасибо
