JWT (JSON Web Token) Bearer Authentication is commonly utilized for APIs. While it operates similarly to cookie authentication, the identity provider issues a JWT or tokens upon a successful authentication. These tokens can then be sent to other servers to authenticate, unlike cookies which are only sent back to the issuing domain. A JWT is a self-contained token that encapsulates information for an API resource or a client. The client which requested the JWT can request data from an API resource using the Authorization header and a bearer token.
