How To Implement API Key Authentication In ASP.NET Core
In this week's newsletter I want to show you how to implement API Key authentication in ASP.NET Core. This authentication approach uses an API Key to authenticate the client of an API. You can pass the API Key to the API in a few ways, such as through the query string or a request header. I will show you how to implement API Key authentication where the API key is passed in a request header. But the implementation would be similar if we were to use any other approach. When would you want to use API Key authentication? This kind of authentication mechanism is common in Server-to-Server (S2S) communication. When your API serves request for other server-side applications to consume and integrate with. It's less common in client-server communication scenarios.
