I have developed an API restful in JSON to retrieve data from my server by a mobile app (iOS).
I want to keep hide my API avoiding someone via a network sniffing tool (like wireshark) could find out it.
On my server how i can allow only http request from my mobile app?
What can i do?
Use SSL and an API token.
Essentially, your request is going to contain your API token or key as a part of the request payload. You can encrypt the data yourself, using SSL, or both.
On the server, you check that the token matches with what is a valid token.
