Just write the code to do it. Where are you stuck?

I have written the API for the security and have written most of the code for the additional API. now I need to secure the additional API with the token gained from the security API and just using the [Authorize] header doesn't do it.

So I wanted to have a read over a resource to do this so I don't go down many different paths

I have solved this question thank you all for any answers.

In a nutshell ensure that the security API have an endpoint that will allow you to validate the user token.
