How do I make values of selected sensors available via API?

Configuration

Hey,
for a project, I want to access selected sensor data of home assistant (i.e., temperature readings of a zigbee sensor) via an API endpoint, provided by home assistant. The data shall be accessed via HTTP get from an external server.
I managed to do this via the bearer-token on the same port as the web frontend. However, this exposes every entity which I don’t want to do (i.e., for security reasons).

Is there a way to only expose selected sensors or entities via API endpoints instead of granting full access?

Thanks for your help,
Alex

But I do not think there is a way to limit the access to only certain sensors.

You might be able to use Node Red instead and then make HTTP nodes that handle it like you want.

Thanks for this idea. Got it to work with Node red :slight_smile:
