Authentication

Token-Based Authentication

This API utilizes Token-Based Authentication, specifically using the Bearer Token for authentication. In this method, a token serves as the authentication credential for each request sent.

Examples of Authentication

Login Endpoint

To log in, a POST request is used at this address:

POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/V1/login

Body:
{
    "email": "vhammes@example.com",
    "password": "123456789"
}

This successful request provides the user with a token of type Bearer, which should be included in the headers of all subsequent requests:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

Authentication Example in Endpoints

For instance, in the headers of the following request, the token used for authentication is sent as a Bearer in the request:

GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/user

Headers:
{
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN",
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Referer": "localhost"
}
