Why use Bearer Token Extractor?
Authorization headers combine schemes, tokens, and sometimes parameters. Extract scheme and credential portions, decode Basic auth, and sanity-check formatting before you attach values to curl or server logs.
Practical tips
- Never log raw tokens in production aggregators—use hashed identifiers.
- Compare output with Auth Header Validator when multiple schemes are involved.
- Double-check whitespace; some mobile SDKs accidentally prepend newlines.
Common questions
- OAuth2 bearer only?
- The tool handles common schemes; exotic custom schemes may need manual parsing.
- Does this refresh tokens?
- No. It is a parser/debugger, not an OAuth client.
