REST_Controller - Generating the API-KEYs?

Hi All,

I've installed the REST library by chriskacerguis and turned on API-KEY authentication. I'm building an API to be consumed by web and mobile apps (my own).

Can anyone describe the actual steps needed to generate and save those API-KEYs into the 'keys' database table? Should I have a separate API controller (not REST_Controller) that deals with signup and creates/inserts that?

Or should I use an OAuth2 library to authenticate the clients and return/save the keys?

Just need some clarification on exactly how the flow works. Thanks.

The short documentation doesn't say anything about how to generate them, so it looks like you just put a random string in the table yourself, with relevant details like generation time, and off you go.

Don't do a random string manually.

Sadly, Chris has taken the Phil Sturgeon School of Documentation masters course.
