Authenticating a method in a plugin

Background: I’m writing a little field plugin to retrieve some offsite data and store it as page content. And going to need to do that with a Remote::get rather a js fetch() in the front because, CORS, auth etc.

Here’s a minimal example:

plugin/src/index.js:

panel.plugin("my/test", {
  fields: {
    tester: {
      template: `
        <k-field :label="label">
          <k-button
          variant="filled"
          @click="getStuff()"
          >
            getStuff
          </k-button>
          <k-button
          variant="filled"
          @click="callAFunc()"
          >
            callAFunc
          </k-button>
        </k-field>
      `,
      props: {
        label: String,
      },
      methods: {
        getStuff() {
          this.$api.get("my/test/getStuff").then((response) => {
            console.log(response);
          });
        },
        callAFunc() {
          console.log("calling a function");
          this.$api.get("my/test/callMethod").then((response) => {
            console.log(response);
          });
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

plugin/index.php

<?php

use Kirby\Cms\App as Kirby;

Kirby::plugin('my/test', [
  'fields' => [
    'tester' => []
  ],
  'api' => [
    'routes' => function ($kirby) {
      return [
        [
          'pattern' => 'my/test/getStuff',
          'action' => function () {
            return collection('latest/posts')->toArray();
            // this works fine
          }
        ],      [
          'pattern' => 'my/test/callMethod',
          'action'  => function () use ($kirby) {
            return $kirby->site()->fetchData();
          }
        ],

      ];
    }
  ],
  'siteMethods' => [
    'fetchData' => function () {
      $test = [
        'test' => 'test'
      ];
      return json_encode($test);
    }
  ]
]);

The first call to an API route returns the collection data just fine.
But the second, where I call a siteMethod, gives me an authentication error:

{"status":"error","message":"Unauthenticated","code":401,"exception":"Kirby\\Exception\\AuthException","key":"error.auth","file":"..\/vendor\/getkirby\/cms\/config\/api\/authentication.php","line":14,"details":[],"route":"my\/test\/callMethod"}

I can’t for the life of me see why, if it’s hitting the api endpoint in the same way, it needs different authentication to use a site method. What am I missing???

ok i’m a fool, don’t need to json_encode the response, Kirby does it for you!
