Note

• Please replace appropriate token and Basic auth values to generate access token.
• For nextJS static builds, use x-csrf-token in header and same token to be sent in the authorisation header which will be generated using a secret key from .env file

X_CSRF_SECRET = "randomString"

Features

• Currently only designed to prevent unauthorized access to strapi public apis
