A note for newcomers

It doesn't work without an API key they won't give out. Don't waste your time with gatekeepers.

Hey, @cornpo

What do you mean?

Langflow works without any API key.

The Langflow Store requires access and we are giving it to whoever asks.

I'm not sure I follow you.

Let me know if there's anything else you want to know about Langflow or the Langflow Store.

I think this unfortunate person ran Langflow, didn't read the explanations, and immediately accessed the Store to make their own baseless assumptions and conclusions. This is very rude and ignorant.

i think it is a common pitfall.
i wanted to use a ready made flow from the store (witch is an amazing idea) and i think i need a key for that.
and the error message just say "you need api key" :-)
keep in mind that in this era ppl from various skill level look for projects to use.
this logic with the api key is not so user friendly i would say.

@cornpo, if you need any help setting up your environment, just reach out to me.

LangFlow is a comprehensive extension solution that allows you to share flows through the store and run actual code. This means that malicious code could be inserted into the flows, and elements such as managing new version migrations must be taken care of. Would you want to integrate components into your service immediately, knowing that there might be malicious code uploaded by unknown individuals? At the very least, shouldn't we run flows from verified individuals first, even if it’s just through an initial email verification? The Dutchman needs a captain. Instead of just asking for examples, have you considered contributing directly to the main source yourself? LangFlow is generous with pull requests.
