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.

You don't even have to check if the token exists to return an error. You can be sure that if your function is executed, it will have a `str` in that token.

And your **FastAPI** application with WebSockets will respond back:

You can send (and receive) many messages:

And all of them will use the same WebSocket connection.

```Python hl_lines="2"
@app.get('/')
def results():
    results = some_library()
    return results
```

If your application (somehow) doesn't have to communicate with anything else and wait for it to respond, use `async def`.

If you just don't know, use normal `def`.
