Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating where API keys are read from request URIs and compare that flow with the linked FastAPI security reference. Done means authentication accepts the authorization header instead of requiring keys in request URIs, with the existing API behavior preserved where applicable.

Description

enhancement

Currently we match the PHP API behavior that expects API keys to be encoded in the URI of the requests. We instead want to use an authorization header: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/reference/security/
