Authentication

Ably uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Ably account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Ably APIs in both code and no-code steps.

The full application key string can obtained through the dashboard and split at the colon.
api_key_initial is the initial segment of the api key before the colon used as the user name
api_key_remaining is the remaining string (without the leading colon) used as the password.
