# SpotifyMERN Backend API Documentation
[](https://spotifymern.vercel.app/)
The SpotifyMERN backend API powers the SpotifyMERN application, a full-stack music streaming platform similar to Spotfy. This API allows users to listening their favorite musics, creating playlists & AWS Cloud Computing for storage & sending emals and more.
## AWS Cloud Integration
The SpotifyMERN backend leverages **AWS Cloud Services** for various functionalities. Amazon S3 is used for storing and serving musics, including categories, thumbnail images and users' profile pictures.
## Features
- Signup & login with secure token
- Storing the musics & thumbnails to **AWS Cloud** & load them from **MongoDB**
- Sending reset links to users' email address with **AWS SES** to reset & update their password more secure
- Structured users'data more secure with **mongoose Data Modelling** both **referencing** & **embedded**
- **Encrypting** & **hashing** passwords
- Email validator via both backend API & **AWS Cloud**
- Verifying **JSON Web Token**
- Security HTTP headers with **helmet**
- Rate limitting from the same **IP/API**
- Data Sanitization against **NoSQL** injection
- Data Sanitization against **XSS**
- Maganing & catching errors globally with **middleware** functions
- Generate expired token
- Sending JWT via **cokie**
- Restrict/protect some features by secure token
- Dedicate environments to **development** and **production**

## Authentication
Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user or system. In the context of a back-end application, it ensures that only authorized users can access protected resources. Here are some key considerations for implementing authentication:
### User Registration
Implement a user registration process that collects necessary information, such as username, email, and password. Ensure that password requirements, such as length and complexity, are enforced.
### Login
Provide a secure login mechanism using sessions or tokens. Validate user credentials against stored data and generate authentication tokens or session cookies for subsequent requests.
## Authorization
Authorization determines what actions a user can perform within an application. It ensures that authenticated users have the necessary permissions to access or modify specific resources. Consider the following when implementing authorization
### Role-Based Access Control
Implement role-based access control (RBAC) to assign different permissions to different user roles. For example, an administrator role might have more privileges than a regular user role.
### Resource-Based Authorization
Control access to specific resources based on user roles and ownership. Ensure that users can only access resources they are authorized to view or modify.
## Security
Maintaining the security of your application is crucial to protect user data and prevent unauthorized access or data breaches. Consider the following security measures
#### Password Hashing
Store user passwords securely by hashing them with a strong cryptographic algorithm like bcrypt or Argon2. Hashing passwords prevents storing plain-text passwords in the database, making it harder for attackers to retrieve user passwords in case of a data breach.
#### Secure Communication
Enable secure communication between clients and the server using HTTPS/TLS. This ensures that data transmitted over the network is encrypted and protects against eavesdropping and tampering. Obtain and install an SSL certificate to enable HTTPS on your server.
#### Session Management
Implement secure session management to track user sessions and prevent session-related attacks such as session hijacking or fixation. Use secure session storage mechanisms, such as server-side storage or encrypted client-side storage (e.g., signed cookies), and regenerate session IDs after user authentication or privilege changes.
## Storage
Sotarage musics' materials suchs as song files, thumbnasil pictures in **AWS Cloud Object Storage**
