#Authentication

10 Adding Simple Authentication

At this stage we will try to add simple Authentication by using middleware in Golang. You need to know that middleware is the process of intercepting an API which before the service when accessed goes to the *handler * layer, it will pass through this * middleware * layer (which we will create) to capture and process something for certain needs. For example, in this case we will intercept the service process to see if the API has a header with the key condition X-API-Key.
