Learning More After Class
- API signatures and authentication mechanisms
The authentication method for Jodoo's public API adopts the API key. You only need to add Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIKEY to the Header of the POST request. However, some APIs use a very complex authentication method. Therefore, it is difficult to use POSTMAN, and you need to turn to code development.
