# Authenticate Endpoint
## 1. Overview
The `/v1/toolkit/authenticate` endpoint is a part of the `v1_toolkit_auth` blueprint in the API structure. Its purpose is to authenticate requests by verifying the provided API key against a predefined value. This endpoint serves as a gatekeeper, ensuring that only authorized clients can access the API's resources.
## 2. Endpoint
- URL Path: `/v1/toolkit/authenticate`
- HTTP Method: `GET`
## 3. Request
### Headers
- `X-API-Key` (required): The API key used for authentication.
### Body Parameters
This endpoint does not require any request body parameters.
### Example Request
```bash
curl -X GET -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" http://localhost:8080/v1/toolkit/authenticate
```
## 4. Response
### Success Response
If the provided API key matches the predefined value, the endpoint will return a 200 OK status code with the following response:
```json
{
"code": 200,
"endpoint": "/authenticate",
"id": null,
"job_id": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-g7h8-i9j0-k1l2m3n4o5p6",
"message": "success",
"pid": 12345,
"queue_id": 1234567890,
"queue_length": 0,
"response": "Authorized",
"run_time": 0.001,
"total_time": 0.001,
"queue_time": 0,
"build_number": "1.0.0"
}
```
### Error Responses
If the provided API key is invalid or missing, the endpoint will return a 401 Unauthorized status code with the following response:
```json
{
"code": 401,
"endpoint": "/authenticate",
"id": null,
"job_id": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-g7h8-i9j0-k1l2m3n4o5p6",
"message": "Unauthorized",
"pid": 12345,
"queue_id": 1234567890,
"queue_length": 0,
"response": null,
"run_time": 0.001,
"total_time": 0.001,
"queue_time": 0,
"build_number": "1.0.0"
}
```
## 5. Error Handling
The main error that can occur with this endpoint is providing an invalid or missing API key. In this case, the endpoint will return a 401 Unauthorized status code with an appropriate error message.
## 6. Usage Notes
- This endpoint is designed to be used as a gatekeeper for the API, ensuring that only authorized clients can access the API's resources.
- The API key should be kept secure and should not be shared with unauthorized parties.
## 7. Common Issues
- Forgetting to include the `X-API-Key` header in the request.
- Using an invalid or expired API key.
## 8. Best Practices
- Rotate API keys periodically to enhance security.
- Store API keys securely and avoid committing them to version control systems.
- Consider implementing additional security measures, such as rate limiting or IP whitelisting, to further protect the API. |
