Hi there,

I’m currently writing a plugin for the headless CMS Sanity ([sanity.io](http://sanity.io)) to use Lottie files similar to videos.  
So far so good - however I’d love to include LottieFiles as custom Asset source, similar to i.e. [Asset source for Unsplash | Sanity.io plugin](https://www.sanity.io/plugins/sanity-plugin-asset-source-unsplash)

To be able to do that, I’d need some kind of API access using OAuth2 or similar. I was successful in logging in by pretending to be the Figma Plugin - but obviously I can’t publish anything using that hack… 😉

Does anyone here have any idea about possible solution? Would there be a LottieFiles employee I could talk to about this?

Thanks,  
Arne
