This guide explores the use of API tokens and JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) in web security, specifically focusing on their implementation in Strapi for building secure web applications. It covers the generation, management, and implementation of these mechanisms, as well as how to create a collection type using the Content-Type Builder. The article also discusses how to manage API tokens and JWT tokens in Strapi's admin panel, make authenticated requests with Postman, and apply security practices such as HTTPS and SSL for secure token storage.
