Generating Your Own API Tokens for a Node + Express API - 1,000 Subscribers 🎉🎉
Generating Developer tokens for any API is a great way to protect the API from being taken down from too many requests coming from one user. I'll show you how I managed to generate unique tokens for each Developer to add an extra layer of protection for the Igbo API.
I'll also show you how the Igbo API handles sending these unique API tokens by sending emails to developers.
Also thank you so much for 1000 subscribers! This is massive and I'm so glad to have so many people enjoy my videos 😊
