A Note on Security

This package is designed to be used in a secure environment. It is not recommended to use this package in a public environment.

99.99% of the time, you should use the prefix:

$ENV.<Some_Variable_Name>

to access the environment variables for the api_url and api_auth fields. This keeps your secrets out of the metadata of the output.

This will only work if the environment variable is prefixed with CSAPI_.

So setting $ENV.API_KEY will use the environment variable CSAPI_API_KEY.

##WARNING IF YOU DON'T USE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES IN THIS NODE, THIS WILL SPILL SECRETS IN THE METADATA.

You must ensure that the metadata is not attached to any outputs, as some nodes will not respect the --disable-metadata flag and will attach their own metadata.

In the event that you need to use the metadata, you absolutely must use the prefix '$ENV.<Some_Variable_Name>' in any fields you want to keep secret.
