+### Accessing the Calling User
+
+When your API is protected by authentication, your route handlers often need to know who is calling. The generated FastAPI runs inside AWS Lambda via the [Lambda Web Adapter](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-web-adapter), which forwards the API Gateway request context as JSON on the `x-amzn-request-context` header. You can read it from the FastAPI `Request` to extract the caller's identity.
+
+As an example, let's add a `/me` endpoint that returns details about the calling user. We'll implement the extraction as a [FastAPI dependency](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/dependencies/) so it can be reused across routes. The shape of the request context — and therefore how you extract the identity — depends on both your selected `auth` method and whether you deployed a REST or HTTP API.

+You don't need any JWT-verification library here — the API Gateway Cognito User Pools authorizer has already verified the signature, issuer, scopes, and expiry by the time your Lambda runs. If any of those checks fail, API Gateway returns `401 Unauthorized` and your handler is never invoked.
