Clarification about single authentication for API access and built-in components(embedder)
Hi,
For the functionality I am making I need the functionality of the built-in embedder but also also additional API access(creating folders, sharing folders).
The problem I am encountering with the approach is the need for authentication in two places. Once for the embedder and once for API access. Is there some way to combine this? Eg. extract the access token from embedder or set access token to embedder instead of API key or something else?

Unfortunately there isn't a way to combine these, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
