Hi,
URL parameter based authentication can be done via the dashboard by setting the Auth token option to “use query string parameter” or, in the API Definition by setting auth.use_param to true.
Cheers,
Martin

It worked… 
That was a quick response.
Thanks a lot
Is there a way to use combo of both? First look into the header. If available ok do nothing. If not look into the query parameter and populate the header.
Hi @sairam866,
Ticking the “Allow Query Parameter As Well As Header” option in the Edit API page would allow a user to make requests to your API with the auth token entered either as a query string (i.e., a GET request to localhost:8080/apiName/?Authorization={{Auth token}}) or as a normal header.
Kind regards,
Jess @ Tyk
Hi @sairam866,
Have you tried setting the "auth"."use_param" value in your API definition to true? That should should perform a similar function as the checkbox I mentioned earlier within the REST API.
Kind regards,
Jess @ Tyk
With “auth”.“use_param”=true only query is check no header is checked. The document also says the same i guess.
https://tyk.io/docs/tyk-api-gateway-v-2-0/api-management/api-definition-objects/
auth.auth_header_name: The header carrying the authentication token.
auth.use_param: This will force Tyk to look for the auth_header_name value in the URL querystring parameters instead of in the header.
Tyk will look at both if you set it correctly, here’s an API definition that will look at an authorization header and then a different querystring variable:
