## What it does

It will go and look in the request for that `Authorization` header, check if the value is `Bearer ` plus some token, and will return the token as a `str`.

If it doesn't see an `Authorization` header, or the value doesn't have a `Bearer ` token, it will respond with a 401 status code error (`UNAUTHORIZED`) directly.

And the more exotic ones:

* `@app.options()`
* `@app.head()`
* `@app.patch()`
* `@app.trace()`

!!! tip
    You are free to use each operation (HTTP method) as you wish.

    **FastAPI** doesn't enforce any specific meaning.

    The information here is presented as a guideline, not a requirement.

    For example, when using GraphQL you normally perform all the actions using only `POST` operations.
