Future release: Create API keys using wildcards `*` in index names

[guimachiavelli]

v0.30 allows users to create an API key using a wildcard when specifying which indexes should accept the key:

"indexes": ["products_*"] // matches products_A, products_B, etc

In need of clarification

If:

1. I have two indexes named products_A and products_B
2. create a key name key_for_products using a wildcard index products_*
3. then create a new index products_C

Will key_for_products be able to access the new index? Or will the wildcard only match indexes that exist during key creation?

---

Does products* include an index named products?

Tasks

• Update keys API reference
• Update API keys guide

@guimachiavelli, we might have an issue merging this PR before the end of the month, I will let you know, but maybe this is something we will include in v1, not in v0.30.0. Sorry in advance for the confusion. I'll let you know.

Officially not present in v0.30.0. Will be in v1. Sorry for the confusion 🙇

No problem, thanks for the update!
