X-Appery-Brand

[Jack Bua]

I just made a new database service and noticed "X-Appery-Brand" as a header name in the request parameter section and "{account_guid}" as the value.

What is this and what is it used for?

Hi Jack -

This new header was added to provide extra security. It helps to ensure that your backend services are only used by your app (from your account). It also helps to prevent the Proxy from being used by apps not from your account or from the outside.

Ok, thank you Illya.

Any new service I add is not working now

I get the following error:
precode
{
"status":400,
"uri":"https://api.appery.io/rest/1/db/collections/quarterptsandmoney",
"response":{
"code":"DBSC960",
"description":"Specified brand is not valid"
}
}
</pre>/code

/pre

Is this feature optional?
What if I am talking to Appery database via Android native http service?

Hello Madi,
Yes, this feature is optional.

Hi there,
Just remove X-Appery-Brand line from the headers and all will be as it was.

Just keep in mind, that this new extra complementary security can be used from now on whenever you would like.

Is there a guide showing us how to properly use this? If not, every time I create a new service I have to delete this new header. Seems like a waste if I cant use it right.

That works great. Thanks Egor!

Hello,

This functionality is in development right away, we are going to exclude this with upcoming Release for some time to prevent confusing. Sorry for inconveniences caused.
