Postman Testing for OAuth Authorization & Authentication

Learn about why OAuth is important and how to use it with APIs like: Dropbox, Flickr and many more.

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to API authorization testing using OAuth in Postman. Throughout the course, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the fundamental concepts of OAuth, including its different flows and uses. You will learn how OAuth is applied in various real-world situations, such as backend applications, single-page applications, and mobile apps.

The course also provides hands-on experience with using different OAuth flows and how to create requests using Postman. You will work with different real-world APIs and learn to use Postman to send requests and validate the responses.

In addition to the theoretical aspects of OAuth 1.0 and OAuth 2.0 and their practical application, the course also covers testing. You will learn how to test OAuth flows and APIs using Postman, and gain the knowledge and skills needed to test and debug your OAuth-secured APIs effectively. This course will provide you with a solid foundation for working with OAuth and APIs in a practical and efficient manner.

Here are some of the topics that we will do in this course:

• Token-based authentication (JWT token)

• OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code grant

• OAuth 2.0 Implicit Code Grant flow

• OAuth 1.0 flow with the Flickr API
