🚀 Course Title: Postman Testing for OAuth Authorization & Authentication

🎓 Headline: Dive into the World of OAuth with Postman – Master API Security and Access with Dropbox, Flickr & More!

📘 Course Description:

Get ready to embark on a journey into the realm of secure API interactions with OAuth Authorization & Authentication using Postman! In this comprehensive course, you'll uncover the depths of OAuth – from its fundamental principles to its practical applications across various platforms. 🔐

Here's what you can expect to learn:

• Understanding OAuth: Delve into the different flows (1.0a & 2.0) and explore how they are used in modern web services, from backend systems to single-page applications and mobile apps.
• Hands-On Experience: Get your hands dirty with real-world scenarios. Practice creating requests and validating responses using Postman, the leading API development tool.
• Real-World APIs: Work with actual APIs like Dropbox and Flickr to see OAuth in action.
• OAuth Testing: Learn the ins and outs of testing OAuth flows and APIs within Postman, ensuring your own APIs are secure and functioning as intended.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of OAuth authorization and how to implement it effectively in your API security strategy. 🛡️

Course Outline:

Here are some of the exciting topics we'll cover:

• Token-based Authentication (JWT Token): Understand JSON Web Tokens and their role in authentication.
• OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Grant: Learn how to securely grant access to a resource without sharing your client credentials.
• OAuth 2.0 Implicit Code Grant Flow: Discover the flow that allows public clients to obtain an access token without a user action to authorize the token exchange.
