## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
Before you can set up and use Jobs-API, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:
- Node.js and npm: Download and install from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/).
- MongoDB: Install MongoDB and ensure it's running. You can download it from [mongodb.com](https://www.mongodb.com/).
### Installation

git clone https://github.com/SaifLotfi/Jobs-API.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd Jobs-API
```
3. Install the project dependencies:

### Configuration

### Running the Server

The API will be accessible locally at `http://localhost:3000`.
## Usage
### Authentication
Jobs-API uses token-based authentication. To access protected endpoints, users need to obtain an authentication token. Here's how it works:
- **Sign Up**: Users can create a new account by sending a `POST` request to `/api/auth/signup`.
- **Log In**: After signing up, users can log in by sending a `POST` request to `/api/auth/login`. They will receive an authentication token in response.
- **Authorization**: To access protected endpoints, include the obtained token in the `Authorization` header of your requests.
### API Endpoints
Jobs-API provides a variety of endpoints to manage job listings. Some of the main API endpoints include:
- `GET /api/jobs`: Retrieve a list of job listings.
- `GET /api/jobs/:id`: Retrieve a specific job listing by ID.
- `POST /api/jobs`: Create a new job listing (requires authentication).
- `PUT /api/jobs/:id`: Update a job listing (requires authentication).
- `DELETE /api/jobs/:id`: Delete a job listing (requires authentication).
For a complete list of available endpoints and their usage, please refer to the API documentation or the code.
