# Proposed Public API extensions
This describes proposed extensions to the Public API. None of these extensions are confirmed, but are recorded here for reference and discussion.
Refer to [Public API](./public_api.md) for the current version of the API.
# Authentication
- Support for sending tokens can via the `Authorization: Bearer {your_access_token}` HTTP header instead of just Basic Auth
# API Access
- API writes are rate-limited to X per second, per access token
- Operations are transactional, e.g. if a file is somehow invalid, the sketch wont be left partially uploaded
