# A simple middleware to check for API Keys in your ASP.Net Core APIs

This is a simple ASP.Net middleware you can use to check for API keys in each request to you services. It is intended to be used in a microservice architecture where each (group of) service(s) is a seperate project.

Just configure the middleware in your Startup.cs:

```csharp

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)

    {

        if (env.IsDevelopment())

        {

            app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();

        }

        // Check for a valid API key using the API Key Middleware

        app.UseAPIKey();

        app.UseMvc();

        }

    }

```

Try the demo project. When authorized you will get a correct response:

![A sample request through Postman, returning the 200 OK and correct response when authorized](./Images/demo_postman.png)

Otherwise you will get a status code 400 or 401:

![A sample request through Postman, returning the 401 Unauthorized response when not authorized](./Images/demo_postman_2.png)

Just modify the project for you convenience. 

**The API key should not be stored in your code for production applications!**
