Specmatic custom auth header demo

Overview

This sample project showcases use of a custom authentication header for secure communication. Below are the key details about authentication and testing:

Authentication

• The API requires a custom authorization header named X-Microtoken to authenticate requests.
• To facilitate this, a security scheme named MicroToken has been defined in the API specification.
• This header should be populated with a valid token during API calls to ensure successful authentication.

Specmatic - Testing with Authorization Header

Here's a quick overview on how to test this API using Specmatic:

• Set the Security Scheme - Export the security token as an environment variable. For example:

export MicroToken=YOUR_VALID_TOKEN

• Start Specmatic Test - Run your Specmatic tests.

java -jar specmatic test

Specmatic will automatically pick up the MicroToken environment variable and apply it as the custom security header (X-Microtoken) to all API calls.
