fastapi set auth token basic-CodePudding

I'm trying to have a security API token for a basic API I'm setting up.

For some reason when using this setup, it isn't working, i.e.,

async def get_emotions(uid, substance, x_token: Optional[str] = Header(None)):
    if x_token != os.getenv('APIKEY'):
        raise HTTPException(status_code=401,
                            detail='wrong api key',
                            headers={"WWW-Authenticate": "Bearer"})

Using a query like this,

curl --location --request GET 'http://0.0.0.0:8008/Emotions.json?uid=xxxx&substance=Dexamphetamine' \
--header 'x_token: example$oken'

Is returning an error of 401 not authenticated, even though my environment variables are picking up the same token.

Any idea on solving this issue?

CodePudding user response：

You need to set convert_underscores to False in the Header(...)

Thus, your function will be as,

async def get_emotions(
    uid, substance, x_token: Optional[str] = Header(None, convert_underscores=False)
):
    if x_token != os.getenv("APIKEY"):
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=401,
            detail="wrong api key",
            headers={"WWW-Authenticate": "Bearer"},
        )
    return {"foo": "bar"}
