Best and Secure Api Authentication

Is this a question or a statement?

There are several good commercial apis which can you help out, like https://www.twilio.com/ or https://www.gauthify.com/. If you don´t need the two-factor auth functionality, then you can build your own two-legged out auth service based on oAuth2 (http://oauth.net/2/).

It depends, which functionality do you want.

I'd highly recommend JSON Web Tokens - http://jwt.io/

You can use the following package: https://github.com/tymondesigns/jwt-auth

There is no universal answer that suits everybody's needs. It depends on the security threats you have and might not be limited just right authentication mechanisms.
