Authentication
The initial step that needs to be configured is the authentication flow. See the sample example how this can be configured. Links to more detailed instructions can be found at the end of the article.
How this example works
OpenLoyalty uses JWT Tokens to authenticate all API calls.
Properly setting up authentication is crucial for maintaining application security and ensuring uninterrupted service. This helps avoid issues such as excessive request rates or the use of invalid or expired tokens.
