Authentication and Authorization
- Authentication: This helps in identifying the user
- Authorization: Does the current user have permissions to perform a specific action.
Authentication for APIs
- Basic Authentication (Username and password)
- Token Based Authentication (JWT)
- OAuth
- API Key based authentication
Lets Practically implement a dummy api where we will enable authentication

Lets create a simple api with two methods
/public: This is anonymous method/me: This requires you to login
-
Now create a project
mkdir auth_demo
cd auth_demo
uv init .
uv add fastapi[standard] uvicorn python-dotenv
