We are developing a Geotab Add-In where certain vehicle data is processed externally, and the prediction results are then fetched from an external system but displayed inside the Add-In. Since this requires authenticated API calls, what is the recommended best practice in the Geotab ecosystem for authentication?Should an Add-In rely on API keys or implement OAuth2 for secure access?If API keys are used, what is the recommended way to provision and deliver them to customers in a secure and user-friendly manner?I haven't been able to find documentation that clearly explains which approach is preferred.
