Airflow Code Editor Plugin
This plugin for Apache Airflow allows you to edit DAGs directly within your browser,
providing a seamless and efficient workflow for managing your pipelines.
Offering a user-friendly file management interface within designated directories, it facilitates effortless editing,
uploading, and downloading of files.
With Git support enabled, DAGs are stored in a Git repository, enabling users to explore Git history, review local modifications, and commit changes.

REST API
Airflow Code Editor provides a REST API. Through this API, users can interact with the application
programmatically, enabling automation, data retrieval, and integration with other software.
For detailed information on how to use each endpoint, refer to the
API documentation.
REST API Authentication
The API authentication is inherited from the Apache Airflow.
If you want to check which auth backend is currently set, you can use
airflow config get-value api auth_backends
command as in the example below.
$ airflow config get-value api auth_backends
airflow.api.auth.backend.basic_auth
For details on configuring the authentication, see
API Authorization.
