1οΈβ£ Use strong and updated API keys
API keys are secret keys that control access to your API.
Use strong keys and update them after a while to avoid unauthorized access.

2οΈβ£ Implement an Auth Standard
OAuth 2.0 (Open Authorization) is a standard developed to allow users access to resources from a third-party application.
It handles access to resources, and it works by using access tokens which are commonly implemented using JSON Web Tokens.

3οΈβ£ Use token-based authentication
Token-based authentication involves using short-lived access tokens for authentication.
For example, JWT (JSON Web Tokens) combined with an Auth standard provide a secure and reliable authentication process.

4οΈβ£ Use encryption
API keys and authentication parameters may be compromised during server-client communication.
Therefore, it is critical to use Transport layer Security (TLS) which protects the information by encrypting it.
