FastAPI swagger don't use custom header

Question

I want to add "Authorization" header to the my FastAPI application. I did it by documentation, but when i try to execute request in the swagger - it doesn't work(swagger don't use custom header), i have "Missing Authorization Header" error Error in the swagger

Answer 1

That is because OpenAPI specs restrict you from declaring Authorization header. Other headers that are restricted are Accept and Content-Type. Use HTTPBearer instead.
