Since we have built our custom PHP REST API, one thing has been missing...security. In this video, we learn how to add JWT tokenization to our RESTful API.

We use Firebase JWT to create and retrieve a simple token that can be used to validate users, external websites, and make your API more secure. We also turn on tokenization in our Swagger UI and allow users to generate a token that can be used to authorize our other routes using a GUI.
