How to make POST/GET curl request with token authentication?

Question

I have APIKeyHeader description

Api is made with FastApi.

I've tried different ways like

curl -X GET -H "X-Access-Token: <token>" "https://example/v1/method/"

curl -X GET "https://example/v1/method/" --header '{"X-Access-Token": "token"}' 

And the answer is the same: {"detail": "Could not validate credentials"} but I know that token is correct.

P.S. new to curl, please could you describe my mistake in detail

Answer 1

You can use

curl -X GET "https://example/v1/method/" -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN_HERE"

Let's assume that I have an endpoint /users/me, if I send an HTTP request to that endpoint with the cURL command above.

curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/me" -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoiMDY1ODQwNDEtYzYwYi00NDg4LWEyYzctZmRkZmQxNWI0NDNkIiwiYXVkIjoiZmFzdGFwaS11c2VyczphdXRoIiwiZXhwIjoxNTk1NzA3ODYyfQ.yutytBX0hmv0MJy5BMSfGSBqrPvFzKqLq_-quEgNyF4"

It works perfectly.
