Understanding API Authentication: JWT and OAuth2 Explained

In this informative video about API authentication, we delve deep into JWT (JSON Web Token) and OAuth2, two essential methods for securing APIs. JWT offers a compact, stateless mechanism allowing clients to authenticate without storing session data, while OAuth2 enables secure authentication through third-party services, safeguarding user credentials. By understanding these methods, developers can ensure robust security for their applications, manage permissions effectively, and optimize their APIs for scalability. Join us as we clarify the differences between authentication and authorization, providing you with valuable insights into effectively protecting your API resources.
