Authentication is a critical component of securing your API endpoints. Below are the primary methods supported by our platform:
1. OAuth 2.0
OAuth 2.0 is widely used for delegated access.
2. API Key
API keys are simple yet effective for server-to-server authentication.
3. JWT (JSON Web Token)
JWT provides stateless authentication through encrypted tokens.
4. Basic Auth
Basic authentication uses username/password pairs encoded in Base64.
Security Best Practices
- 🔒 Validate all tokens and keys before processing requests
- ⚠️ Disable deprecated authentication methods in production
- 🔄 Implement rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks
