Hey !

Here’s my problem : my users will come from our website (wich is a wordpress btw). I want to put an api-key in an URL parameter and keep it for the whole session (in order to make my API calls with a variable).

How can I do that ??

Hey @jb-jetpulp 👋

I think you’ll be able to do this with a query string:

Let me know if that works for you 🙂
