List Input API requires write permissions?

The list API for inputs (i.e. /input/list.json) requires write permissions. I get that all the other input APIs would require write permissions, but why does this one?

If it’s intended, then that’s fine, just wondering the rationale.

If it’s not intended - I’m happy to make the change to make it work.

Background is I am considering adding the input list to the iOS app. It will be useful for me to be able to see this list rather than just the feed list.

I think I just hit the same problem! I couldn’t for the life of me work out why I could use curl to list feeds but not inputs.

Interestingly the input API works for me using the read key on my local emonPi device. So I guess that maybe this has been fixed but not yet propagated to emoncms.org?
