Root Cause

The request does not contain a valid OAuth2 token or the token is missing.

generic

中文

请求不包含有效的OAuth2令牌或令牌缺失。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Include a valid OAuth2 token in the Authorization header 
    Authorization: Bearer <your_token>
  2. 90% success Implement token validation using OAuth2PasswordBearer 
    from fastapi.security import OAuth2PasswordBearer
oauth2_scheme = OAuth2PasswordBearer(tokenUrl="token")
@app.get('/protected')
async def protected(token: str = Depends(oauth2_scheme)):
    return {"token": token}

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Removing authentication from the endpoint 70% fail

    Exposes the endpoint without security.

  2. Using a hardcoded token without validation 80% fail

    Insecure; token can be easily guessed.
