We are currently using Devise Auth Token for authentication

Getting a token

POST request to https://project-run.herokuapp.com/user_token.

The request will include a JSON with an auth object that has the email and password of the user.

The response will be a JSON again. A sample is provided below:

{
  "jwt": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE0ODc3OTcwMDksInN1YiI6MX0.yNXQ5uS2-vx1jIgYD60uNPkZk-qkAndZlBRTocvoAPM"
}

Authenticated resources will have Authenticated resource in the title

Using authentication

You need to send the JWT token as an Authorization header as following Bearer jwt_token. Example for the JWT from the last response Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE0ODc3OTcwMDksInN1YiI6MX0.yNXQ5uS2-vx1jIgYD60uNPkZk-qkAndZlBRTocvoAPM (more details here https://jwt.io/introduction/)

Example authentication route: GET request to https://project-run.herokuapp.com/test Will return 401 status if Unauthorised, otherwise 200 with a success status
