Api Security Testing

API Security Testing focuses on validating that only authenticated users can access protected endpoints using JWT tokens.
It verifies that valid tokens allow access, while missing or invalid tokens are correctly rejected, ensuring proper access control and security enforcement.

Step to Reproduce:

1. Create secured API requests in Postman.
   • example: POST https://api.escuelajs.co/api/v1/auth/login
2. Login and obtain JWT token Access protected endpoint → success
3. Remove Authorization token
4. Send request again

What This Demonstrates:

• API authentication enforcement
• Unauthorized access handling
• Negative testing approach
