Proper way to perform a helix API call Using JavaScript

As for the API call info, this is a ‘distributed app’ so to speak. The base app/script is already available and in use by people, I’m just looking to add some functionality to it. Every person using this is doing so self hosted, either as a windows/Linux app or via Docker. As such, there is no way to have a centralized dB or cache system that would work in that way.

Then to log the user in you’d either

• use implicit auth
• have the user provide their own ClientID and ClientSecret to the app

Since you can’t share your ClientSecret, but you can share a ClientID

@RFBomb

Each instance of the script would at most run a api call twice every minute, but I have no way to know how many Instanced exist.

Rate limiting is roughly, by Token/IP key pair. So the instance count doesn’t matter in this case.
