Authentication is a crucial aspect of application security, particularly for applications that handle sensitive data. Fastgen provides robust authentication options to ensure secure access to your APIs and manage user authentication efficiently.

​
Authentication Methods

Fastgen offers three primary methods to safeguard your API endpoints:

​
Public Access

  • Unrestricted Access: The Public option allows open access to the API endpoint, making it accessible to anyone on the internet. This setting is suitable for endpoints that do not contain sensitive information.

​
API Token Protection

  • Secured by API Tokens: Secure your endpoints by requiring pre-defined API tokens. Requests must include one of your API tokens in the Authorization header, formatted as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

User Authentication

  • Access for Authenticated Users: This option ensures that only users with valid login credentials can access the endpoint. Currently, the ‘Default User’ group is the only available option, which permits access to logged-in users with an active session from your project domain.
