Scenario “ Blueprint “ Backups with Make APi

:bullseye: What is your goal?

Backup Scenarios

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

It worked but backed up my secrets and trying to understand if that is correct

Hello,

Welcome to the community!

Yes, that’s correct- but that’s not a Make issue, it’s rather on your side (or your developer’s). When building scenarios in Make, you should avoid having your keys and tokens hardcoded.

This is a very common mistake people use the HTTP module and pass their keys as plain text in standard headers/ query/ body.
The correct approach is to use the Authentication type field in newest HTTP modules. With this approach, Make will store keys encrypted, and only the connection name will be included in the blueprint.
With older HTTP version there was second module to make authorised call.

Have a nice day,
Michal
