Add Bearer Token Selectively To Header In Retrofit

I would like to know if there is any option to enable/disable header Interceptor based on a flag or annotation in Retrofit. Since there are few paths in my API that do not need a t

Solution 1:

I have researched this some time ago and I didn't find any solution provided by retrofit out of the box, but you can easily implement a workaround by yourself.

Just annotate the request with a header of your choosing, for example "NoAuth: true" and check for this header in the interceptor:

builder.addInterceptor(chain -> {
    StringnoAuthHeader= chain.request().header("NoAuth");
    Request.Builderrequest= chain.request().newBuilder();
    if(noAuthHeader == null || !noAuthHeader.equals("true")){
        request.addHeader("authorization", "Bearer foofootoken").build();
    }

    return chain.proceed(request.build());
});
