Hi, you can pass the key as parameter in the Authorization Header of the REST API call to create key for your BuildShip API and access it in the next variables.

Also, if you are using Firebase, you can add authentication using Firebase Auth Trigger, docs - https://docs.buildship.com/trigger-nodes/firebase-auth

A little confused by that. pass the key as a paremeter and validate in the next node?

I'm sorry. This is still not working as expected. I'm trying to pass a key or string in the header. But my header auth and outside testing keep coming up as an error Not understanding what I'm doing wrong here

Comes up blank even though I'm passing a header "Authorization : kkkkkkkkkk"

Can you share your workflow via in-app support? Or here is a simple workflow example of using auth header, you can paste this to a new workflow.

Same usecase here, they are using bool instead - https://discord.com/channels/853498675484819476/1194678089867862148.

I just need it to return the "Authorization" value so that I can then validate it to continue the workflow I tried yours as well, Getting the same errors

The return is getting the authorzation header, but coming back undefined. I think I just found the problem. You can recreate and test auth headers in buildship
