Module Description
Drupal REST & JSON API Authentication module restricts and secures unauthorized access to your Drupal site APIs using different authentication methods including Basic Authentication , API Key Authentication , JWT Authentication , OAuth Authentication , External / Third-Party Provider Authentication, etc
A REST API defines a set of functions in which developers can perform requests such as GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and receive responses via HTTP protocol. For example, when a client application calls a Drupal API to fetch a specific user (the resource), the API will return the state of that user, including their name, email, user id, etc.

What are the different authentication methods that our module supports:
The Drupal REST & JSON API authentication module provides the below methods for authenticating all your Drupal APIs:
1) API Key Authentication: If you want to protect your Drupal REST APIs from unauthenticated users but you don’t want to share users login credentials or client id and secret to authenticate the REST API, then you can use API Key authentication, which will generate a random authentication key for you. Using this key, you can authenticate any APIs on your site
2) Basic Authentication : If you want to protect your Drupal REST APIs with the user's login credentials, then you can opt for this method. It is recommended that you should use this method on HTTPS or secure socket layers.
3) JWT Authentication : If you are looking to protect your REST APIs using the JWT token and if you do not have any third party provider/identity provider that issues the JWT token, then you should go for the JWT Authentication method. In this case, our Drupal REST API Authentication itself issues the JWT token and works as an API Authenticator to protect your REST APIs.
4) OAuth 2.0 Authentication: If you are looking for protecting your REST APIs using the access token and at the same time you do not have any third-party provider/identity provider, then you should go for OAuth 2.0 Authentication method. In this scenario, our Drupal REST API Authentication works as both OAuth Server and API Authenticator to protect your REST APIs.
5) Third-Party Provider Authentication: If you are looking for protecting/restricting access to your Drupal REST APIs using your OAuth Provider/Identity provider, then you should go for the Third Party Provider Authentication method. In this method, you just need to configure the module with the User Info Endpoint provided by your Identity Provider and you will be able to authenticate the API Request using the token provided by your provider.
