A `homarr-custom-widget-v2` definition can use several fixed-origin API sources. Credentials are encrypted separately and stay out of exports and Workshop submissions. Actions support `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH` and `DELETE`; requests have host checks, timeouts, size limits, permissions and rate limits. Custom Widgets remain **Beta** in 2.0.
**Workshop is the other half.** Publish and install Custom Widgets or Custom CSS, then update, vote on, comment on and report submissions. Deployment URLs and credentials stay on your Homarr instance.

:::note About the Homarr provider
The built-in Homarr provider is a social experiment. I (Ajnart) pay its upstream bill.
Assistant ships with a **"Homarr provider"**. It is free, will never offer paid plans, and is paid for by [Ajnart](https://github.com/ajnart) using the ad revenue from this website.
This is not free AI forever. If I stop feeling like paying—or the bill gets silly—it may be limited, disabled, replaced or made obsolete. Bring an OpenAI-compatible provider if you want long-term control. That is the deal.
It only uses zero-data-retention (ZDR) providers. [The provider is open source](https://github.com/homarr-labs/homarr/blob/release/v2/apps/workshop/homarr_provider.go), and neither prompts nor responses are logged. We are not selling your data. Pinky promise.
