Add authentication for write actions

[iangudger]

If your data isn't sensitive, it is fine to let anyone read it without authentication. You shouldn't let just anyone modify just anything though.

Data as a whole is gold we don't want bots to request and suck our data. we have to figure out a way eventually that the data is only provided to the authenticated users only.

I don't think preventing read-access to our data is necessary at this point. The interesting part is what we do with it, and all of that is already open-source. What we don't want is to allow arbitrary people to change our data without our permission (or knowledge). Our current system doesn't even leave an audit trail to find out what was modified, by who and when. Unauthenticated write access has the potential to jeopardize the correctness and credibility of any findings.
