Authentication

Once the Datalink Instance is set up, you can then authenticate yourself to get started with using what the service has to offer;

local DatalinkModule = require(Path.To.Module)
local Datalink = DatalinkModule.new({
	datalinkUserAccountId = 0,
	datalinkUserToken = ""
})

Datalink:authenticateAsync():andThen(function()
  print('Datalink Authenticated!')
end):catch(warn)

import DatalinkModule from "@datalinkhq/rbx-datalink"

const Datalink = new DatalinkModule({
	datalinkUserAccountId = 0,
	datalinkUserToken = ""
})

Datalink.authenticateAsync().then(() => {
  print('Datalink Authenticated!')
}).catch(console.warn)

⚠️

Please ensure that the Authentication Key is NOT exposed to the client as this would provide an attacker full, unrestricted access to your experience's data.

💡

A recommended method to safeguard your API Key is to store it in a private and secure DataStore.
