Can you please elaborate on how one can utilize APIs for login purposes? I'm particularly interested in understanding the process flow, from initiating the login request to successfully authenticating the user. What kind of data is typically exchanged during this process? And are there any security measures or best practices that should be followed to ensure the safety of user credentials and sensitive information?

These credentials are sent to the API provider in the authentication header of the request.

The user must provide their username and password as part of this authentication process.

The API provider then validates the credentials to ensure they belong to an authorized user.

If the credentials are valid, the API provider grants the user access to the endpoint.
