Hi all. I'm a sysadmin just starting out with scripting. I'm loving learning so far and have a pretty basic question. If we want to have a script run in a scheduled way, what can we do to protect the API key? For day to day work, I understand we should pass the key as a variable and not include it in shared source code. I also see PhilipDAth's excellent proposal to help protect keys. https://community.meraki.com/t5/Developers-APIs/A-newer-safer-way-to-access-the-dashboard-API/m-p/69602 For a scheduled script, It seems we need to pick a relatively secure place to put the key, lock it down as much as we can, and that's about it. I'd appreciate advice from those with more experience. By the way we're using Python. Thanks!
