API Auth or Encryption | Node JS Backend

[NayakPenguin]

The rule is that only authorized users should be able to use the API, and we want to restrict calls to it from any unauthorized sources. To access the API, you'll need an authentication key stored in your environment settings. Also, try to do some encryption which will convert the values into other characters, and on the frontend side it can be extracted.

Although CORS can help with this, it has some limitations. So, if you have a clever solution, please help us solve this problem in a better way!

Here, implementing authorization means registering user and give them JWT token to be able to call api, but its not much difference. After they have a token they can call api whenever they want.

So another possible solution I am checking is to make api calls server-server side instead of client-server side. I will create PR after its done.
