  In the configuration for an integration you can add an optional API key but it is not clear how it is send in the request?  For my integration the 3th party requires that the api key is set inside the headers like so: `Authorization: ApiKey <API_KEY>`.

  Hi, we want the ability to set the `Authorization` header so that can auth with our backend.  Is this posible?

  Hi rutger,

  To be able to fetch a JSON API with JavaScript on the browser the API must support a so called preflight request, that responds with the allowed origins, methods and headers. A modern browser initiates this preflight call to ask the API server if the requester (client side javascript within a servers page) is allowed to request for the called resources. Therefore an JSON API must respond to an OPTIONS call with the following headers:

  • access-control-allow-headers
  • access-control-allow-methods
  • access-control-allow-origin

  Hi, I think that there is a little missunderstanding here. What we want is to add our API key to the `Authorization` header inside the intetegrations settings. Right now all we can configure is an url and an api key but we want the api key inside the `Authorization` header and not the`X-API-KEY` header.

  We are not requesting data, we have setup an integration to receive data from aranet cloud

  We currently have setup this integration in aranet cloud: https://forum.aranet.com/site/assets/files/tmp_uploads/1769068729.png

  We use API keys to auth HTTP requests on our side, these keys have to be set in the `Authorization` header. To my understanding when I fill in the this API key field it is set to the `X-API-KEY` header. How could we make it that the API key is set to the correct header?

  You can include the Authorization header as a URL parameter in a similar way as any other header. Here is an example of how you can include the Authorization header as a URL parameter

  https://api.example.com/endpoint?Authorization=Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN

  Thanks for the sugestion but we do not want to include secrets as url parameters. Sadly it has to be the  `Authorization` header.
