Add login credentials for protected Apprise API servers - #1154
Conversation
Apprise API 2 can require HTTP Basic Auth (APPRISE_AUTH_REQUIRED=yes). Questarr had no way to send credentials, so API mode failed with 401 on such servers. Settings > Notifications now has optional username and password fields; the password is stored encrypted and masked on read.

📊 Automated PR Analysis
SummaryAdds optional username/password fields to Questarr's Apprise API settings so notifications can authenticate against Apprise API servers requiring HTTP Basic Auth (APPRISE_AUTH_REQUIRED=yes). The password is encrypted at rest using existing credential-crypto infrastructure, masked on retrieval, and preserved on resubmission unless changed; usernames containing colons are rejected.

Credentials sent to an https:// Apprise API can no longer be redirected to http (safeFetch requireHttps, as torznab does for API keys), and the settings card warns when a login is set on an http:// URL.

- Decrypt the API password only in API mode, and treat a value that no longer decrypts as missing instead of failing startup. - Decide http/https from the parsed URL protocol on both server and client, so HTTPS:// and http:/host spellings are handled. - Assert the Basic header on send() too.

Description
Before: Apprise API 2 can require a login (
APPRISE_AUTH_REQUIRED=yes, HTTP Basic Auth), but Questarr had no way to send credentials. API mode failed with401 Unauthorizedagainst such a server. Puttinguser:pass@in the API URL does not work either, becausefetchrejects URLs that carry credentials.After: Settings > Notifications shows optional Username and Password fields in API mode. When either one is set, every call to the Apprise API (notifications and the test button) sends an
Authorization: Basicheader. The password is stored encrypted with the existing credential key and returned masked (********). Resubmitting the mask keeps the saved password, and an empty value clears it. A username containing a colon is rejected, as apprise-api does forAPPRISE_USER. When a login is combined with anhttp://URL, the card warns that it is sent unencrypted.How:
server/apprise.tsreadsapprise.username/apprise.password, decrypting the password through a lazy import ofcredential-cryptoso modules that only send notifications don't initialize the database module.buildApiHeaders()adds the Basic header./api/settings/apprisemasks and persists the two fields. Two rules keep credentials from leaking over redirects:safeFetchalready drops credentials on cross-origin redirects.https://URL, it is now called withrequireHttps, so a redirect cannot downgrade them to http.torznab.tsapplies the same rule to API keys.Plain
http://stays allowed for the usual same-Docker-network setup, as it is for downloader credentials. CLI mode is unchanged. Added a CHANGELOG line under 1.5.0 > Integrations.Follows the Apprise 2 review of #1150.
Screenshots
Captured with headless Chromium against
npm run dev:test. A small local server that requiresadmin:s3cretstood in for apprise-api, and its log confirmed it received the Basic header both times.Wrong password: the test reports the server's 401.
Correct password, after saving and reloading (the password comes back masked): the test succeeds.
Login on an
http://URL: the amber warning appears. It goes away with anhttps://URL.Mobile (390x844): the fields stack in a single column.
