Python GraphQL gql client authentication

I´m having hard time to use GraphQL with Python since the suggested library: gql is completely undocumented.

How ever I found out that to provide the api url I need to pass a RequestsHTTPTransport object to Client like this:

client = Client(transport=RequestsHTTPTransport(url='https://some.api.com/v3/graphql'))

but how to provide credentials like the Bearer Key?

PS I noticed that it RequestsHTTPTransport accepts also a auth param which is described as:

:param auth: Auth tuple or callable to enable Basic/Digest/Custom HTTP Auth

how ever I still can not find out how to create this tuple or callable to work with a Bearer Key :(

Thanks in advise

Solution

  • You can add it in the headers.

    reqHeaders = {
    'x-api-key' : API_KEY,
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + TOKEN_KEY // This is the key
}

_transport = RequestsHTTPTransport(
    url=API_ENDPOINT,
    headers = reqHeaders,
    use_json=True,
)

client = Client(
    transport = _transport,
    fetch_schema_from_transport=True,
)
