I have created simple web service for my website that generates some json based on request, using php, but I want it to be protected so that only I can use it. I mean it should be available for my website only. No one without my permission should be able to use that json on their website.
What is the best method for that in php?
You could try using HTTP_REFERRER header field, but it’s easily spoofed and therefore insecure.
How about using PHP sessions?
Set some variable in session in your main page script, then check for its existence when processing API requests; if the variable in session is not set, don’t serve the content.
