Securing Swagger API Documentation with an API Key (JWT)

Learn how to secure Swagger API Docs by requiring an API Key (Json Web Token)

API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to communicate and exchange data. It is one of the main drivers of our world of communication as we know today.

API documentation is a technical content deliverable, containing instructions about how to effectively use and integrate with an API. It’s a concise reference manual containing all the information required to work with the API, with details about the functions, classes, return types, arguments and more, supported by tutorials and examples. In this course, you will learn how to use Swagger to generate the API Documentation of any Spring Boot Application. This course covers how to add the main Swagger configuration class to configuring and customizing the Swagger User Interface.
