In Part-13 of Laravel 8 API Tutorial, we will work on Laravel API Authentication to secure Laravel APIs with fix Authorization Token that never change.

Secure Laravel API without Passport Package
We are not using any Passport Package and will secure the API in the simplest and quickest way.

Secure Laravel API without User Authentication
We will secure the Laravel API without User Authentication that is required whenever we require User token for login and register of the user with Laravel API.

We are going to secure Laravel GET API by providing the Authorization Token to the API. If the Authorization Token does not match then API will return the error otherwise fetch the response.

Why to Secure Laravel API?
We don't want our APIs can be accessed by anyone and we want only the concern party for which the API is made is able to access so that's why we are required to secure our APIs.

In upcoming videos, we will use Passport Package and other advance way to secure the Laravel API but going to secure Laravel API in the easiest way in this video.

We will use Postman to secure the Laravel GET API by using Authorization Token in header.

Hello Amit Sir! Thanks a lot for these Laravel tutorial. I have few questions to ask:
2) Is there anyway to update the AUTH token every 8-10 days for even more security purpose?
3) What is x-api-key? Is this also set in API header? How to generate x-api-key?
