How to complete the Bearer Token challenges to GET and POST the secret note. • Both Challenges 37 and 38 use the Bearer authentication mechanism and are so similar that we have covered them in one post. • Rather than use the `X-AUTH-TOKEN` header, we use the value returned in Challenge 30 for the `X-AUTH-TOKEN` but we add it as `Bearer` token authentication. • In Insomnia, use the Auth tab and select Bearer authentication. Then the toke value is the value of the `X-AUTH-TOKEN` from Challenge 30. • Issue a GET request on the `/secret/note` end point receive 200 when using the X-AUTH-TOKEN value as an Authorization Bearer token - response body should contain the note • This challenge is almost a duplicate of the request used in challenge 33 • Ensure there is no custom header with the name `X-AUTH-TOKEN` • Ensure there is an Auth Bearer header and the value is the same as received in the `/secret/token` response `X-AUTH-TOKEN` • • Issue a POST request on the `/secret/note` end point with a note payload e.g. { note : my note } and receive 200 when valid X-AUTH-TOKEN value used as an Authorization Bearer token. Status code 200 received. Note is maximum length 100 chars and will be truncated when stored. • This is almost a duplicate of challenge 34. • Ensure there is no custom header with the name `X-AUTH-TOKEN` • Ensure there is an Auth Bearer header and the value is the same as received in the `/secret/token` response `X-AUTH-TOKEN` • Find the application links and more information at: • https://eviltester.com/apichallenges • Write up of this challenge instructions: • https://eviltester.com/apichallenges/... • --- • Remember to subscribe to this YouTube channel. • You can support me on Patreon / eviltester (watch my videos ad free and receive extra content) • I blog at https://eviltester.com/blog • Learn more about my books and online training at: • https://eviltester.com • Follow me on: • / eviltester • / eviltester • / eviltester
