Is this secure?

Yes, myMetricsJS has prebuilt in authentication ready to go for you.

If you have JWT Authenication on your API already:

• Set security.type to jwt
• Set security.service.jwt.token to a JWT token.

If you do not have JWT Authenication on your API:

• set security.type to custom
• set security.service.custom.token to anything you want
• on your API Endpoint, you will retrieve the token entered above to verify that this is coming from indeed your server.
