API Authentication and Masking of phone numbers for Privacy

[locintel]

The current API works quite well, but it reveals information that could pose a privacy problem. Can we mask the phone numbers from the data returned?

I would suggest implementing an API authentication Key. That Key would be used to verify that the API caller is authorized to use the data.

The key could also be used to decided wether the API user is authorized to access private data such as names and phone numbers

A non authenticated user might be able to use the API but for minimum functionalities only...
