How can I get a user from an api key ?

Hey all,

I recently stumbled onto better-auth and really like it, especially once I saw it had a plugin for api keys

I managed to get it set up and can create api keys from nuxt (on client side), but I cannot seem to get a user out of them ? I can see the userId is set on the key (since it's created from an authenticated user), but if I try to get a user out of the session by doing this:

import { auth } from "~/utils/auth"

export default defineEventHandler(async(event) => {
    const user = await auth.api.getSession({
        headers: event.headers
    })

    console.log(user?.user)
})

import { auth } from "~/utils/auth"

export default defineEventHandler(async(event) => {
    const user = await auth.api.getSession({
        headers: event.headers
    })

    console.log(user?.user)
})

But it turns out as undefined:

I send the request with a header of

x-api-key : <value>

x-api-key : <value>

where

<value>

<value>

is the value of the generate apiKey.key.

Did I misread the docs ? Have I missed something ?

How are you all doing this ?

Ok, it just seems like I cannot copy/paste correctly into a curl command. Nothing to see here xD
