Security schemes ================ OpenAPI authentication or security schemes can be specified indicating to users how they should authenticate. To do so a security requirement and security scheme should be defined as extension arguments. For example for a security tagged ``app_id`` that comprises of an API key passed as a querry arg called ``appID``: .. code-block:: python from quart_schema import QuartSchema QuartSchema( app, security=[{"app_id": []}], security_schemes={ "app_id": {"type": "apiKey", "name": "appID", "in": "query"} }, ) This will then apply to all routes unless overridden. For example to remove security from a route: .. code-block:: python from quart_schema import security_scheme @app.get("/") @security_scheme([]) async def route(): ... .. warning:: Security schemes are for documentation only, they do no authentication and should not be relied on for security.
