Onboarding API
It's my student reference: STD22014

Onboarding API

- Requires No authentication
| Feature | Abacus | Onboarding API |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | None | No |
| HTTPS | Yes | Yes |
| CORS | Yes | Unknown |
When to use which?
Abacus is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. Abacus works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps.
