Authentication
Learn how to authenticate and secure your documentation projects
Overview
Authentication is a critical aspect of securing your documentation projects on the Annu Gulati Documentation platform. We provide multiple authentication methods to ensure your content remains protected while allowing appropriate access for team members and stakeholders.
Use API keys for programmatic access to documentation endpoints.
Implement OAuth 2.0 for secure user authentication and authorization.
Leverage JSON Web Tokens for stateless authentication across sessions.
Setting Up Authentication
Follow these steps to configure authentication for your documentation projects.
Generate API Key
Navigate to your account settings and generate a new API key for programmatic access.
curl -X GET \
'https://api.annugulati.com/v1/projects' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
import requests
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
}
response = requests.get('https://api.annugulati.com/v1/projects', headers=headers)
print(response.json())
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const headers = {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
};
fetch('https://api.annugulati.com/v1/projects', { headers })
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));
Configure OAuth
Set up OAuth application credentials in your project settings.
Test Authentication
Verify your authentication setup by making test API calls.
Best Practices
Implementing secure authentication practices ensures your documentation remains protected.
Common Issues
Troubleshoot authentication problems with these solutions.
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Invalid API key | Check that your API key is correctly formatted and has not expired |
| OAuth redirect error | Verify your redirect URIs match the configured OAuth application settings |
| Token expiration | Implement token refresh logic to handle expired JWT tokens |
