More and more applications are built using JSON HTTP APIs for data and functionality. This workshop will walk you why you'd want to protect APIs and enumerate the options you have to protect them.

After a brief introduction to JSON HTTP APIs, you'll build a PHP based API project which allows users to retrieve Chuck Norris quotes. You'll then progressively protect the API using a variety of methods. You'll also understand why and when to use each choice, as well as the tradeoffs they provide.

At the end of this workshop, you'll have built:

* an unprotected API
* an API protected with an API key
* an API protected using a JWT generated elsewhere

Great job, I wish the quizzes were closer to the coding without a Please Wait" screen in between.

Here's the slides: https://www.slideshare.net/DanMoore12/protecting-your-apispdf

The slides have a link to the GitHub repo that contains the PHP code.

I don't know how to make that link clickable.

Thanks Abinadi for the feedback!

Really enjoyed the hands on coding exercises. They were helpful. I felt some explanations might have been missing, but I don't have examples on specifically what.

Really enjoyed the structure of the tutorial and the built-in breaks with optional, prompted discussions. Hoping the Windows issue gets fixed for future tutorials.

The interactive coding was a great practicum for us to play around with the concept.
