# Job data API with Bearer token auth and Airtable validation
This automation template enables secure HTTP API access to job data without building a full backend. Authentication is handled via Bearer tokens validated against an Airtable database for correctness, expiration, and access rights. Ideal for developers, startups, and automation specialists needing fast, secure data access.
## Who it´s for
- Developers building secure APIs without a full backend
- Startups using Airtable as a database and needing simple authentication
- Automators who want to protect webhooks using Bearer tokens
- Teams implementing temporary authorization systems for testing environments
## What the automation does
- Handles HTTP GET requests with `job_id` parameter and Bearer token in headers
- Validates token presence, correctness, status, and expiration in Airtable
- On success, retrieves job data and returns it in structured JSON format
- Rejects invalid, expired, or missing tokens with 401 Unauthorized
- Returns 404 if no job exists for the given `job_id`
- Blocks all methods except GET with 405 Method Not Allowed
