Hi all!
I’m the developer of the Frame.io integration for Coda.io. I also run a small production company, where we use lots of Zapier and API-based automation in our daily workflows.
I’m excited about some of the new v4 API features, but one roadblock I’m hitting is that developer tokens are being replaced by Server to Server (S2S), and S2S is only supported for Enterprise accounts.
While I understand that this kind of tier-gating makes sense in certain situation, here’s my plea for S2S for the people:
- It’s not just large enterprise that wants to integrate Frame with other tools. If a small company like mine has been doing API stuff with Frame for years, I can only imagine that the use cases will explode in the vibe coding era.
- Oauth 2 is not an appropriate substitute in many situations because of the 30-day timeout (I’ve run into problems where automated systems are failing because they need to be reauthorized periodically)
- Oauth 2 is cumbersome to set up for quick prototypes
- Public tools that help enhance the usefulness (and grow the customer base!) of Frame are often coming from outside of large enterprises (I’m currently building an AI version stack comparison engine, for example). I believe Adobe can expect to see ROI by providing an easy, democratized developer experience.
