Snowpipe uses key-based authentication for its REST endpoints. This involves generating and using a key pair (public and private keys) to securely authenticate API requests.
Generate Key Pair: Generate a public and private key pair.
Register Public Key: Register the public key with the Snowflake user that will be making the API requests.
Authenticate Requests: Use the private key to sign API requests sent to Snowpipe REST endpoints.

I didn't expect OAuth, sounds a bit complicated!

I vaguely remember Single Sign-On being mentioned in relation to Snowpipe, but I can't remember the details.

I practiced a similar question, and I think it was about username and password authentication, but that doesn't seem right for Snowpipe.

I feel like we covered OAuth for some other services, but I can't recall if it applies to Snowpipe.

I think Snowpipe uses key-based authentication, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about keys being more secure.

I'm a bit confused by the different authentication methods mentioned. I'll have to review my notes before deciding on the best answer.

The question mentions "REST endpoints", so I'm thinking it's probably key-based authentication. I'll select B.

OAuth seems like the most likely option for a REST API, so I'll go with A.

Username and password? Really? In this day and age? Next you'll tell me Snowpipe uses carrier pigeons to transfer data. Key-based is the way to go, my dudes.

Hmm, I'd say it's Single Sign-On (SSO). Snowflake is all about that enterprise-level security, you know? Who needs usernames and passwords these days?

I'm pretty sure it's OAuth. Snowflake loves their OAuth these days. Though I guess key-based could work too.

Yeah, OAuth seems to be the popular choice these days. But key-based could be a good alternative.
