How to retrieve current user from request.headers while ratelimiting the endpoint?

For ratelimiting the endpoint I want to use two approaches i)based on IP address (unprotected endpoint, no JWT access token)

def get_remote_address(request: Request) -> str:
    """
    Returns the ip address for the current request (or 127.0.0.1 if none found)
    """
    return request.client.host or "127.0.0.1"

It works fine

2 ) based on current user, current user has to be retrieved from JWT access token. JWT access token is created using this fastapi-jwt-auth and user is in get-jwt-subject.

from starlette.requests import Request
from fastapi_jwt_auth import AuthJWT

def get_user_from_headers(request: Request):
    if 'authorization' in request.headers:
        
        current_user = AuthJWT.get_jwt_subject()
        print(current_user)
        return current_user
    else:
         return  get_remote_address

Doing this, I couldn’t find current-user. How to find current_user if request.headers has authorization?

There is some approach that can be done, e.g like this

def get_user_id_or_ip(request: Request):
    authorize = AuthJWT(request)  # initial instance fastapi-jwt-auth
    try:
        authorize.jwt_optional()  # for validation jwt token
        return authorize.get_jwt_subject() or request.client.host
    except AuthJWTException:
        return request.client.host

Thank you

return authorize.get_jwt_subject() or get_remote_address

Thank you very much
