Bearer

With this transport, the token is expected inside the Authorization header of the HTTP request with the Bearer scheme. It's particularly suited for pure API interaction or mobile apps.

Configuration

from fastapi_users.authentication import BearerTransport

bearer_transport = BearerTransport(tokenUrl="auth/jwt/login")

As you can see, instantiation is quite simple. It accepts the following arguments:

  • tokenUrl (str): The exact path of your login endpoint. It'll allow the interactive documentation to automatically discover it and get a working Authorize button. In most cases, you'll probably need a relative path, not absolute. You can read more details about this in the FastAPI documentation.

Login

This method will return the in the following form upon successful login:

200 OK

{
    "access_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoiOTIyMWZmYzktNjQwZi00MzcyLTg2ZDMtY2U2NDJjYmE1NjAzIiwiYXVkIjoiZmFzdGFwaS11c2VyczphdXRoIiwiZXhwIjoxNTcxNTA0MTkzfQ.M10bjOe45I5Ncu_uXvOmVV8QxnL-nZfcH96U90JaocI",
    "token_type": "bearer"
}

Check documentation about login route.

Logout

The logout method with this transport returns nothing.
