Jordy, not 100% sure if this is what you're talking about, but, when
putting together my form of a restful API, for smart phone interaction
with my PHP web application, I use the following JSON web token library to
encrypt, and decrypt the tokens sent between the API and the externals:
link     https://github.com/firebase/php-jwt

Basically lets me encrypt, and decrypt JSON objects containing
information, etc. etc.

Stay well

Hi Taksan

For now, I am using PHP, but I am more asking for an explanation on how
it works, so that i can use it in Python as well.

Regards, Jordy.

Jordy: usually those things require an encryption library. Depending
on the programming language you are using you need to install one.
What language are you using?

Dear all

Is there someone here, who can explain me how to generally use a
public/private key pair for api access? I really don't find a clear
explanation on the web...

Thanks for the help :)

Regards, Jordy.
