How to get http headers in flask?

问题

I am newbie to python and using Python Flask and generating REST API service.

I want to check authorization header which is sent the client.

But I can't find way to get HTTP header in flask.

Any help for getting HTTP header authorization is appreciated.

回答1:

from flask import request
request.headers.get('your-header-name')

request.headers behaves like a dictionary, so you can also get your header like you would with any dictionary:

request.headers['your-header-name']

回答2:

just note, The different between the methods are, if the header is not exist

request.headers.get('your-header-name')

will return None or no exception, so you can use it like

if request.headers.get('your-header-name'):
    ....

but the following will throw an error

if request.headers['your-header-name'] # KeyError: 'your-header-name'
    ....

You can handle it by

if 'your-header-name' in request.headers:
   customHeader = request.headers['your-header-name']
   ....

If any one's trying to fetch all headers that were passed then just simply use:

dict(request.headers)

it gives you all the headers in a dict from which you can actually do whatever ops you want to. In my use case I had to forward all headers to another API since the python API was a proxy
