API-key based security utilities for FastAPI, focused on simplicity of use

Overview

FastAPI simple security

API key based security package for FastAPI, focused on simplicity of use:

  • Full functionality out of the box, no configuration required
  • API key security with local sqlite backend, working with both header and query parameters
  • Default 15 days deprecation for generated API keys
  • Key creation, revocation, renewing, and usage logs handled through administrator endpoints
  • No dependencies, only requiring FastAPI and the python standard library

Installation

pip install fastapi_simple_security

Usage

Creating an application

from fastapi_simple_security import api_key_router, api_key_security
from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

app.include_router(api_key_router, prefix="/auth", tags=["_auth"])

@app.get("/secure", dependencies=[Depends(api_key_security)])
async def secure_endpoint():
    return {"message": "This is a secure endpoint"} 

Resulting app is:

app

API key creation through docs

Start your API and check the logs for the automatically generated secret key if you did not provide one through environment variables.

secret

Go to /docs on your API and inform this secret key in the Authorize/Secret header box. All the administrator endpoints only support header security to make sure the secret key is not inadvertently shared when sharing an URL.

secret_header

Then, you can use /auth/new to generate a new API key.

api key

And finally, you can use this API key to access the secure endpoint.

secure endpoint

API key creation in python

You can of course automate API key acquisition through python with requests and directly querying the endpoints.

If you do so, you can hide the endpoints from your API documentation with the environment variable FASTAPI_SIMPLE_SECURITY_HIDE_DOCS.

Configuration

Environment variables:

  • FASTAPI_SIMPLE_SECURITY_SECRET: Secret administrator key
    • Generated automatically on server startup if not provided
    • Allows generation of new API keys, revoking of existing ones, and API key usage view
    • It being compromised compromises the security of the API
  • FASTAPI_SIMPLE_SECURITY_HIDE_DOCS: Whether or not to hide the API key related endpoints from the documentation
  • FASTAPI_SIMPLE_SECURITY_DB_LOCATION: Location of the local sqlite database file
    • /app/sqlite.db by default
    • When running the app inside Docker, use a bind mount for persistence.
  • FAST_API_SIMPLE_SECURITY_AUTOMATIC_EXPIRATION: Duration, in days, until an API key is deemed expired
    • 15 days by default

Contributing

Running the dev environment

The attached docker image runs a test app on localhost:8080 with secret key TEST_SECRET. Run it with:

git clone https://github.com/mrtolkien/fastapi_simple_security.git . && docker-compose build && docker-compose up

Needed contributions

  • Unit tests
  • More options with sensible defaults
  • Logging per API key?
  • More back-end options for API key storage?

    Error while runing

    I was trying to run the sample code in the Readme. I got an error

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "pdfkitv2.py", line 8, in <module>
        from fastapi_simple_security import api_key_router, api_key_security

        from fastapi_simple_security._security_secret import secret_based_security
      File "<fstring>", line 1
        (SECRET=)
    

    I think there is an error in the file _security_secret.py Line 18.

  • Loosen fastapi dependency requirements

    Loosen fastapi dependency requirements

    pip install -r requirements.txt fails to resolve dependencies, because fastapi_simple_security is trying to force an older version of fastapi.

    I Momentarily solved it by manually installing an older fastapi version in my application, but I see no reason why this should be the way to go (new versions don't introduce breaking changes).

    Thanks!

  • Access api key from function

    Access api key from function

    Thank you for this great library. I have a question. Is there a way to access the API key that was used to request a secure endpoint when the dependency is used globally? For example:

    app.include_router(myrouter, prefix='/myrouter', dependencies=[Depends(api_key_security)])
    
    @myrouter.get('/secured-endpoint/')
    async def secured_endpoint():
        return {'key': 'api-key'}
    

    Does the request state contain the API key or it isn't passed anywhere? If the key isn't available in any context, we will have to use the dependency in each function like this:

    from fastapi.security.api_key import APIKey
    
    
    @app.get('/secured-endpoint/')
    async def secured_endpoint(api_key: APIKey = Depends(api_key_security)):
        return {'key': api_key}
    

    Please let me know if there's a possibility to use the dependency globally on a router and still get the API key value in all sub-routes.

    unable to open sqlite db path

    Using: fastapi==0.68.0

    After setup, setting the FASTAPI_SIMPLE_SECURITY_DB_LOCATION does not change the path from the default of /app/sqlite.db as expected. Instead getting hit with this error sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file Looking at the _sqlite_access.py definition doing this instead: def __init__(self): try: self.db_location = os.environ["FASTAPI_SIMPLE_SECURITY_DB_LOCATION"] except KeyError: self.db_location = ""

  • Replaced underscore with hyphen in SECRET_KEY_NAME

    Replaced underscore with hyphen in SECRET_KEY_NAME

    Because nginx by default drops headers with underscores.

    Missing (disappearing) HTTP Headers

    If you do not explicitly set underscores_in_headers on;, NGINX will silently drop HTTP headers with underscores (which are perfectly valid according to the HTTP standard). This is done in order to prevent ambiguities when mapping headers to CGI variables as both dashes and underscores are mapped to underscores during that process. https://www.nginx.com/nginx-wiki/build/dirhtml/start/topics/tutorials/config_pitfalls/

    While it seems possible to reconfigure nginx to accept underscored headers, just getting to the bottom of the issue could take some time (it did for me) and it might be desirable to avoid jumping through hoops by simply replacing the underscore with a hyphen in the SECRET_KEY_NAME, to be secret-key.
