API Improvements - OpenAPI and more auth options
The API should be documented with OpenAPI to allow better tooling.
Ideally using the above OpenAPI spec you could auto generate a SDK or API client for popular languages.
Lastly, the API should accept authentication options other than digest. There is very poor support for digest authentication by popular HTTP clients. I don't like trying to implement security protocols myself, as there is often some quirk I have not fully understood that ends up leaving me less secure than I hoped.
In many questions online when searching for information about digest authentication, the person asking the question is asking about the MongoDB Atlas API - so it seems you are one of the biggest users of digest auth. Anything else would be better IMO!

Hello,
A swagger description file would be a good start.
+ 1 for this improvement request.
