Here’s a step by step guide with Python writing an auth plugin:

https://tyk.io/docs/customise-tyk/plugins/rich-plugins/python/custom-auth-python-tutorial/

You could then combine this with the ID extractor, just add this to the custom moddleware section of the manifest and replace the header name:

"id_extractor": {
    "extract_from": "header",
    "extract_with": "value",
    "extractor_config": {
      "header_name": "Authorization"
    }
  },

This will then attempt to cache the header value so that we don’t need to run the middleware over and over.
