Authentication Flow

  1. Client submits login credentials.
  2. Server validates username and password.
  3. On success, the server issues a token and returns it to the client.
  4. The client includes the token in request headers or query parameters thereafter.
  5. For protected endpoints, the server verifies the token; if valid, it processes the request and responds.
