Creating a bun server protected by Unkey
1
Create a new Bun project
First we need a bun project, so create a new directory and init bun.
mkdir unkey-with-bun
cd unkey-with-bun
bun init -y
2
Install
Now install the @unkey/api package
bun install @unkey/api
3
Modify the server
Open up the file called index.ts and add the following code
index.ts
import { verifyKey } from "@unkey/api";
const server = Bun.serve({
async fetch(req) {
const key = req.headers.get("Authorization")?.replace("Bearer ", "");
if (!key) {
return new Response("Unauthorized", { status: 401 });
}
const { result, error } = await verifyKey(key);
if (error) {
// This may happen on network errors
// We already retry the request 5 times, but if it still fails, we return an error
console.error(error);
return Response.json("Internal Server Error", { status: 500 });
}
if (!result.valid) {
return new Response("Unauthorized", { status: 401 });
}
return Response.json(result);
},
port: 8000,
});
console.log(`Listening on ${server.url}`);
4
Running the server
bun run index.ts
5
Try it out
Go to https://app.unkey.com and create a new key. Then verify it with our new server:
curl http://localhost:8000 -H "Authorization: Bearer <KEY>"
It should return {"keyId":"key_id","valid":true,"meta":{},"enabled":true,"permissions":[],"code":"VALID"} and potentially more information about the key, depending on what you set up in the dashboard.
