Hi all,
I’ve had a long list of books in Excel for some time so I thought of adapting the quote generator to pull a random book from the list.
The database is currently in Airtable and is pulling via API.
My main issue right now is that as far as I know someone can just grab my api key from the code and grab the entire dataset which would be painful considering I spent years scraping the web to create it. In the meantime, I’ve just cut the dataset to 75 records until I figure it out.
Would love any direction on what to research. So far I’ve found out about config files and api’s that limit usage to a domain but I’m not entirely sure where to go.
Would also love feedback on the site itself. Thanks everyone!
