Usage

Generate JWT token

You can send a POST request to /api/users/login.json URL with below details:

• Username: john
• Password: secret

It will return JWT token in json response.

Get User Information

To get authenticated user's information you have to make a GET request to /api/users.json URL with the token you got from previous step in the Authorization header with Bearer prefix.
