Not able to get Authorization from incoming request, even we sending it through Postman

Question

I am sending simple GET request to backend API, that is built in python. I tried to get the headers from incoming request but not able to get it.
Here is how I am trying to get it
from flask import request request.headers.get('Authorization')
but every time it return None only.

Note: I am able to get all other headers like request.headers.get("Content-Type")

What you're doing should work: https://realpython.com/token-based-authentication-with-flask/ — rdas, Apr 11 '19 at 07:29
Are you setting the Authorization header when making the request? — rdas, Apr 11 '19 at 07:30
@DroidX86 yes I am setting Authorization header while making request, I am not sure why only authorization header is blocked. — Sanjay, Apr 11 '19 at 11:33

Am using requests approach which is the best.

see documentation links

First, You will need to Install and import requests via

pip install requests

You can see how I set authorization username and password variable to auth() so replace user and pass with your authorisation username and password. it it will work.

This code is an illustrations but it works

import json
import requests

resp1 = requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=('user', 'pass'),  headers={
                       "Content-Type":"application/json",
                       "Accept": "application/json"
                      })



print('success')
print (resp1.status_code)
print (resp1.headers['content-type'])


#output any other response
content = json.loads(resp1.content)
print(content)
