Api authentication works when provided in query and not in header but actually it is set as a header
Hi all,
I am new to swagger and in a learning phase.
I have an API with API key in the header which works perfect with postman but when I am trying to document in swagger, it doesn't work.
Actually, the API key is set as a header parameter. But in swagger, it works only when it is changed to the query parameter.
This doesn't work when setting as a header param
security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] // key globally declared components: // This doesn't work securitySchemes: ApiKeyAuth: type: apiKey in: header // api key is set as a header name: apikey
This works when set as a query param
security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] // key globally declared components: // This works securitySchemes: ApiKeyAuth: type: apiKey in: query // api key is set as a query name: apikey
Can somebody help me? I am missing something clearly but don't know what.
Thanks,
Indhu
