SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a unified approach to authenticating FastAPI applications using either locally issued JWTs or external SaaS providers (Clerk/Supabase/Auth0), simplifying token validation and access control.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local JWT issuance and verification alongside SaaS provider support.
  • Unified token validation across multiple providers for protected endpoints.
  • Easy integration into FastAPI apps with reusable dependencies and provider configuration.
  • Use Case: Build an API that supports both self-hosted login flows and external authentication without rewriting security logic.

Quick Start

Install required libraries and wire up the token validator in your FastAPI app, then protect an endpoint with the dependency that validates the current user.

FAQPage Schema
How do I authenticate FastAPI endpoints with both local JWTs and SaaS providers?

FastAPI endpoint authentication with local JWTs and SaaS providers uses a unified token validation approach. This simplifies access control by applying reusable dependencies to protect routes across multiple providers and deployment scenarios.

How does unified token validation work for FastAPI Bearer tokens?

Unified token validation for FastAPI Bearer tokens works by centralizing JWT creation, validation, and provider configuration. This mechanism allows your API to seamlessly validate access tokens issued locally or by external SaaS providers.

Can I use FastAPI JWT authentication with external SaaS providers like Clerk or Supabase?

Yes, you can use FastAPI JWT authentication with external SaaS providers like Clerk, Supabase, or Auth0. The system supports unified token validation across these platforms without requiring you to rewrite your security logic.

What is the best way to protect FastAPI routes requiring Bearer token authentication?

The best way to protect FastAPI routes with Bearer token authentication is using dependency-based protection. This approach validates the current user on protected endpoints through reusable dependencies configured for your specific providers.

Do I need to rewrite security logic to support self-hosted login flows and external authentication in FastAPI?

No, you do not need to rewrite security logic to support self-hosted login flows and external authentication in FastAPI. A unified token validation approach handles both local JWT issuance and SaaS provider configuration seamlessly.
