| `--confirm-external-bind` | Confirm you consciously set `--rpc-bind-ip` to non-localhost IP and you understand the consequences.
| `--restricted-rpc` | Restrict API to view only commands and do not return privacy sensitive data. Note this does not make sense with `--rpc-restricted-bind-port` because you would end up with two restricted APIs.
| `--rpc-login` | Specify `username[:password]` required to connect to API. Practical usage seems limited because API communication is in plain text over HTTP.
| `--rpc-access-control-origins` | Specify a comma separated list of origins to allow cross origin resource sharing.
| `--rpc-access-control-origins` | Specify a comma separated list of origins to allow cross origin resource sharing. This is useful if you want to use `monerod` API directly from a web browser via JavaScript (say in a pure-fronted web appp scenario). With this option `monerod` will put proper HTTP CORS headers to its responses. You will also need to set `--rpc-login` if you use this option. Normally though, the API is used by backend app and this option isn't necessary.

Monero project nicely decouples network node logic from wallet logic.
Wallet logic is offered through three independent user interfaces - the GUI, the CLI, and the HTTP API.
