  The `fetch` API allows you to send a fetch request that is authenticated with
  an [OpenID Connect ID Token](/docs/api/app-bridge-library/apis/id-token) from
  Shopify in the `Authorization` header. This is authenticated for your
  application domain and subdomains. See the [Fetch
  API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API) documentation
  for more details.

   App Bridge injects automatic authorization into the global <code>fetch</code> function. While this is transparent and should not interfere with existing fetch code, this injection can be disabled using the [<code>disabledFeatures</code>](/docs/api/app-bridge-library/apis/config#setting-config-values-disabledfeatures) configuration option. You will need to enable [Direct API access](/docs/apps/build/cli-for-apps/app-configuration#admin) for your app to use this feature.
