Authentication

It uses simple JWT-based authentications, and APIs are as following:

Operation	Method	URL	Body
Signup	POST	/users/signup	{ "username": "abc", "password": "xyz" }
Login	POST	/users/login	{ "username": "abc", "password": "xyz" }
Logout (not used)	GET	/users/logout

When you login, you'll receive a token in the response body. Put that token in the request header as Authentication: Bearer <token> to access restricted endpoints. The default expiration time of the tokens in 1 hour. You'll have to relogin and obtain new token when the current token expires.
