Need some help with Deta Micros

[SlumberDemon]

So, I am making an api using deta micros and fastapi, I added api keys and I wanted to know how to use the api key in the url in the web browser without using code.

example: https://api.deta.dev/endpoint?key=APIKEY HERE
(this is how I tried it, but it doesn't work so how?)

sorry for dumb question.. x'D

hi, this doesn't work. it is also insecure to put any secrets in the url, esp api keys.
our intsructions on how to use micro api keys: https://docs.deta.sh/docs/micros/api_keys/#3-using-api-keys

I did see that, I want to access the fastapi /docs endpoint but I can only see it in a browser. When I have api keys enabled I can't access it. Is there another way?

Use requesr.headers.get to access the API KEY sent with request header ( example: {'X-API-KEY': YOUR_API_KEY} )
EXAMPLE:

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request

@app.get("/")
async def root(request: Request):
    api_key = request.headers.get('X-API-KEY') 
   # do stuff with api_key here
