Backend Authentication for secure API's

[partialarts]

AS a developer I WANT to securely access API's from the backend database SO THAT the client website is protected against API exploits (hacks)

• [x] Determine back-end server - AWS EC2
• [x] Setup and configure server - Using an Ubuntu Server
• [x] Install and configure database - Setup MongoDB
• [x] Install Nodejs
• [x] Install and setup Nginx
• [x] Install and setup PM2
• [x] Install and set up Expressjs
• [ ] Configure Expressjs
• [ ] Create a JSON file for the API keys that lives within MongoDB
• [ ] Connect front-end and back-end
• [ ] Test API call by using a function on the web app that uses an API

Had issues with configuration based on time constraints and had to park this. Will continue this process to build on and enhance the website.
