  const { clinicRef, patientRef }: CreateConsultationData = req.body;
  const databases = new Databases(client);
  const teams = new Teams(client);
  const functions = new Functions(client);

  const { "x-appwrite-user-id": creator }: RequestHeaders = req.headers;

  log(JSON.stringify(req.headers));

  if (!creator) {
    return res.send(
      JSON.stringify({
        message: "x-appwrite-user-id header is required",
      }),
      404,
      {
        "content-type": "application/json",
      }
    );
  }

The result is the second image

Summary

Issue: The user is unable to set the header for 'x-appwrite-user-ud' in Postman. Solution: The user can try using the header 'user-id' as an alternative solution. However, this header may not work for unauthenticated requests. It is recommended to use the Appwrite REST API for proper authentication. Additionally, it is not allowed to use headers containing 'x-appwrite' in the provided Appwrite domain.

How to set a header on provided domain of specific appwrite?

Of course...it's automatically set by Appwrite

Do you have to use that function domain?

I know that we have the rest api for function, but this makes me easy to set up hehe

When you execute a function like this, it's an unauthenticated request so Appwrite doesn't pick up the user and it doesn't set the user id and JWT headers

ohh I see I implement this as my alternative solution

  const { "x-appwrite-user-id": userId, "user-id": backup }: RequestHeaders =
    req.headers;
  const databases = new Databases(client);

  const authorId = userId || backup;

  if (!authorId) {
    return res.send(
      JSON.stringify({
        message: "either x-appwrite-user-id or user-id header is required",
      }),
      404,
      {
        "content-type": "application/json",
      }
    );
  }

I added user-id just for testing so I can use it to my postman
