Hi @Alex YT. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the information provided in the extracts, there could be a few reasons why you're getting an "unauthorized" response when sending a request to a JSON API. 1. Incorrect API endpoint: Ensure that the API endpoint you're hitting exists and is spelled correctly. Spelling errors can occur due to typographical errors or misunderstanding of the correct spellings. This applies not only to API endpoints but also when attempting to fetch information from your local storage. If the endpoint is incorrect, it could lead to an "unauthorized" error. source (https://refine.dev/blog/unexpected-token-in-json-at-position-0-error#spelling-error) 2. Expired Access Token: If you're using an access token for authentication and it has expired, you might be logged out and redirected to the login page instead of the access token being refreshed and the request being retried. Ensure your access token is valid and refresh it if necessary. source (https://discord.com/channels/837692625737613362/1151401556294504518) 3. Incorrect Headers: If you're sending a request to an API that requires authentication, ensure that you're sending the correct headers. For example, you might need to include an "Authorization" header with a valid token. source (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/4622) 4. Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS): If your API and Refine backend are on two different sub-domains, ensure that CORS is allowing cross-domain origin and credentials are set to true. source (https://discord.com/channels/837692625737613362/1179065900842885141) If you're still having issues, it would be helpful to see the exact error message you're receiving and more details about the request you're trying to send. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai i am using json api as my data provider and i need to pass bearer toekn in every request

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To pass a bearer token in every request using Refine, you need to set up an authProvider and a dataProvider. The authProvider is responsible for handling authentication, and the dataProvider communicates with your API. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Set up the authProvider: The authProvider should include a login method that obtains the token from the API and stores it, typically in localStorage. The authProvider should also include a logout method that removes the token from storage.

const authProvider: AuthBindings = {  
 login: async ({ email, password }) => {  
  // Your logic to get the token from the API
  const { data } = await gqlDataProvider.custom!({  
   url: "",  
   method: "post",  
   meta: {  
    operation: "login",  
    variables: {  
     input: {  
      value: { identifier: email, password },  
      type: "UsersPermissionsLoginInput",  
      required: true,  
     },  
    },  
    fields: ["jwt"],  
   },  
  });  
  
  localStorage.setItem("token", data.jwt);  
  return {  
   success: true,  
   redirectTo: "/",  
  };  
 },  
 logout: async () => {  
  localStorage.removeItem("token");  
  return {  
   success: true,  
   redirectTo: "/login",  
  };  
 },  
 // Other methods...
};

const authProvider: AuthBindings = {  
 login: async ({ email, password }) => {  
  // Your logic to get the token from the API
  const { data } = await gqlDataProvider.custom!({  
   url: "",  
   method: "post",  
   meta: {  
    operation: "login",  
    variables: {  
     input: {  
      value: { identifier: email, password },  
      type: "UsersPermissionsLoginInput",  
      required: true,  
     },  
    },  
    fields: ["jwt"],  
   },  
  });  
  
  localStorage.setItem("token", data.jwt);  
  return {  
   success: true,  
   redirectTo: "/",  
  };  
 },  
 logout: async () => {  
  localStorage.removeItem("token");  
  return {  
   success: true,  
   redirectTo: "/login",  
  };  
 },  
 // Other methods...
};

source (https://refine.dev/docs/data/packages/strapi-graphql#authentication) 2. Set up the dataProvider: The dataProvider should include an interceptor that adds the token from localStorage to the Authorization header of every request.

import axios from "axios";  

const axiosInstance = axios.create();
axiosInstance.interceptors.request.use((config) => {  
 // Retrieve the token from local storage  
 const token = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("auth"));  
 // Check if the header property exists  
 if (config.headers) {  
  // Set the Authorization header if it exists  
  config.headers["Authorization"] = `Bearer ${token}`;  
 }  

 return config;  
});  

const dataProvider = jsonServerDataProvider(API_URL, axiosInstance);

import axios from "axios";  

const axiosInstance = axios.create();
axiosInstance.interceptors.request.use((config) => {  
 // Retrieve the token from local storage  
 const token = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("auth"));  
 // Check if the header property exists  
 if (config.headers) {  
  // Set the Authorization header if it exists  
  config.headers["Authorization"] = `Bearer ${token}`;  
 }  

 return config;  
});  

const dataProvider = jsonServerDataProvider(API_URL, axiosInstance);

source (https://refine.dev/docs/tutorial/understanding-authprovider/create-authprovider#setting-authorization-credentials) 3. Pass the authProvider and dataProvider to the <Refine /> component:

<Refine  
 authProvider={authProvider}  
 dataProvider={dataProvider}  
/>

<Refine  
 authProvider={authProvider}  
 dataProvider={dataProvider}  
/>

source (https://refine.dev/docs/tutorial/understanding-authprovider/create-authprovider#setting-authorization-credentials) This setup will ensure that every request sent by the dataProvider includes the bearer token in the Authorization header. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
