title: Using Secret Token weight: 1
If you want a simple way to protect an endpoint from unwanted access over the internet, you can use the Secret Token feature. This allows you to restrict access by requiring a predefined token to be included in requests, ensuring that only authorized clients can interact with the endpoint.
Usage
Here's how you can use Secret Token to protect an endpoint:
Define secret token in your .env file:
HEALTH_SECRET_TOKEN=your-secret-token
Use RequiresSecretToken middleware in your route:
Route::get('/', HealthCheckJsonResultsController::class)->middleware(RequiresSecretToken::class);
Add X-Secret-Token in the request header:
X-Secret-Token: your-secret-token
Warning
Secret Token is a simple way to protect an endpoint from unwanted access over the internet. However, it is not a foolproof security measure. If you need a more secure solution, consider using a more advanced authentication method.
