    streamlit==1.28.0

Hi @Sandeep_S

Is the following what you’re looking for, to perform a get request

token = 'xxxxxxxxxx'
r = requests.get(
        'https://url-address/',
        headers={
            'accept': 'application/xxxxxx',
            'authorization': 'token {}'.format(token)} )

Hope this helps!

Hi @dataprofessor Thanks for your reply on my question. I am using st.file_uploader function to upload a file which is making internal call to ‘_stcore/upload_file’ end point (https://app.com/_stcore/upload_file). I need to intercept this request and add a token to it for authentication. Is there a way to do that?

Hi

Yes you can take the uploaded file and convert it to a binary format and use that as input for your requests query
