This is a guide on how to secure your API using [Basic Authentication](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/authn-methods#client-secret-basic).
|
||
|
||
## Register the API in ZITADEL
|
||
|
||
1. Go to your project and click on the **New** button as shown below.
|
||
|
||
<img
|
||
src="/docs/img/guides/integrate/token-introspection-basic-auth-1.png"
|
||
width="75%"
|
||
alt="Register the API"
|
||
/>
|
||
|
||
2. Give a name to your application (Test API 2 is the name given below) and select type **API**.
|
||
|
||
<img
|
||
src="/docs/img/guides/integrate/token-introspection-basic-auth-2.png"
|
||
width="75%"
|
||
alt="Register the API"
|
||
/>
|
||
|
||
3. Select **Basic** as the authentication method and click **Continue**.
|
||
|
||
<img
|
||
src="/docs/img/guides/integrate/token-introspection-basic-auth-3.png"
|
||
width="75%"
|
||
alt="Register the API"
|
||
/>
|
||
|
||
4. Now review your configuration and click **Create**.
|
||
|
||
<img
|
||
src="/docs/img/guides/integrate/token-introspection-basic-auth-4.png"
|
||
width="75%"
|
||
alt="Register the API"
|
||
/>
|
||
|
||
5. You will now see the API’s **Client ID** and the **Client Secret**. Copy them and click **Close**.
|
||
|
||
<img
|
||
src="/docs/img/guides/integrate/token-introspection-basic-auth-5.png"
|
||
width="75%"
|
||
alt="Register the API"
|
||
/>
|
||
|
||
6. When you click **URLs** on the left, you will see the relevant OIDC URLs. Note down the **issuer** URL, **token_endpoint** and **introspection_endpoint**.
|
||
|
||
<img
|
||
src="/docs/img/guides/integrate/token-introspection-basic-auth-6.png"
|
||
width="75%"
|
||
alt="Register the API"
|
||
/>
|
||
|
||
7. Also note down the **Resource ID** of your project.
|
||
|
||
<img
|
||
src="/docs/img/guides/integrate/token-introspection-basic-auth-7.png"
|
||
width="75%"
|
||
alt="Register the API"
|
||
/>
|
||
|
||
## Token introspection
|
||
|
||
With Basic Authentication, you will receive a Client ID and Client Secret for your API. Send your client_id and client_secret as a Basic Auth Header in the following format:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Authorization: "Basic " + base64( formUrlEncode(client_id) + ":" + formUrlEncode(client_secret) )
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The request from the API to the introspection endpoint should be in the following format:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
curl --request POST \
|
||
--url {your_domain}/oauth/v2/introspect \
|
||
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
|
||
--header 'Authorization: Basic {your_basic_auth_header}' \
|
||
--data token=VjVxyCZmRmWYqd3_F5db9Pb9mHR5fqzhn...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Here's an example of how this is done in Python code:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
def introspect_token(self, token_string):
|
||
url = ZITADEL_INTROSPECTION_URL
|
||
data = {'token': token_string, 'token_type_hint': 'access_token', 'scope': 'openid'}
|
||
auth = HTTPBasicAuth(API_CLIENT_ID, API_CLIENT_SECRET)
|
||
resp = requests.post(url, data=data, auth=auth)
|
||
resp.raise_for_status()
|
||
return resp.json()
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Introspection response
