Do you have any details on the equivalent Postman change? How long ago did Postman force users to create an account? I found this github issue, but I'm not sure if it's what everyone keeps referencing.

Possibly user agent add it to postman https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/3827

As you can see, this solution worked as expected, but it still has a big concern. The idea of using user email and checking their permission will not prevent malicious people from using an admin email, which can be easy to get with social engineering, and use programs like Insominia or Postman to get the same response as an unprotected endpoint.

You have installed Postman.

Learned about curl https://curl.se/ and played around with postman https://www.postman.com/ some more.

Postman installed

The JWT authorizer is ready to use! We can use Postman or curl to test the endpoint and the authorizer.

Typically, there are various ways to choose an HTTP client, and for this example, I've chosen axios.

axios: To fetch data from the Strapi CMS API and also to fetch responses from our Express server.

Note, you can use any library for HTTP requests like axios. This example uses the http and node-fetch libraries available on npm.

Interact with other APIs over an encrypted channel. For example, you can use Axios with Node.js.

For this article, I will be using the TypeScript Starter template as shown in the screenshot above. This comes with Nodejs, Cheerio, Axios

Axios is suitable for a wide range of web development projects, from simple single-page applications (SPAs) to complex, large-scale enterprise software.

Axios for streamlined API interactions, facilitating seamless data fetching.

Axios is a popular HTTP client library for Node.js that provides a more user-friendly and feature-rich way to make HTTP requests. Axios simplifies error handling and supports features like automatic JSON parsing and request/response interceptors, making it a great choice for many HTTP request scenarios.

For this tutorial, we’re going to scan the file for malware using Verisys Antivirus API, and so we’ll add a package to make it easier to make external HTTP requests. Popular choices include Axios and node-fetch - for this article, we’ll use node-fetch

In the dynamic realm of JavaScript and front-end development, selecting the appropriate tool for HTTP requests is critical. Axios and Fetch stand out as two leading contenders, each offering distinct features and benefits. This article delves into their differences and practical applications, providing a comprehensive comparison.
