Add API key authentication for API Request which allows sending a key-value pair to the API either in the request headers or query parameters

Could you elaborate issue #611 Add API Auth? Since many services provide api key for access to their api, end users by default have to add this parameter to query parameters, so what is supposed to be done here?

@19Doors The feature brief is very clear.
You have to run API Dash, do some research and survey, think how this feature must work, prepare the UI design and share your approach on how it should be implemented.

@ashitaprasad I was wondering if all auth methods collectively should be placed in one place right. I have used postman and insomnia both in which they restrict you to choose one auth method and to put one apikey at a time. Should the same be true here.

That's how API authentication works. Users can add API Keys in env variables and use the variable name in the Auth fields.
