FastAPI - Authentication and Security
How can you protect a FastAPI route so that only requests with a valid JWT token can access it?
ACheck the token manually inside the route function without dependencies
BUse a dependency that verifies the JWT token and include it in the route
CAdd a middleware that ignores JWT tokens
DUse a global variable to store token validity
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand FastAPI dependencies

    Dependencies can run code before route logic and reject invalid requests.

  2. Step 2: Use dependency to verify JWT

    Including a JWT verification dependency ensures only valid tokens allow access.

  3. Final Answer:

    Use a dependency that verifies the JWT token and include it in the route -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Dependency verifies JWT before route runs [OK]
Quick Trick: Protect routes with JWT verification dependency [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Checking token inside route instead of dependency
  • Ignoring token verification in middleware
  • Using global variables for token state
