Where do I find docs on how to add a header with a value to a rest API call ?

I want to add Authorization with a value but the "+" symbol seems to add a new element to the output ??
When I click on the "Request headers" I don't see anything for adding values to that property...
Any help or advice is appreciated ...

Solution

To add an Authorization header, you'll require to add it under the Request Headers, ensuring the

type

type

of the request headers is Object. You can clone this sample workflow - https://buildship.app/remix/ca544a0c-566c-4642-aa3b-729e7eb92474 which has an example.

Also, to learn more about headers and other components you can refer to this - https://docs.buildship.com/basics/ship-an-api and REST API Trigger docs - https://docs.buildship.com/trigger-nodes/rest-api.

It seems you are trying to add an "Authorization" header with a value, but the "+" symbol appears to add a new element rather than allowing you to input the value.

To solve this issue, ensure that you properly format and reference the JSON components correctly. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Verify JSON Structure:
Ensure the header JSON structure is correct and that the values are properly defined.

2. Referencing JSON Components:
Properly reference the components by ensuring the key-value pairs are accurate.

Example JSON Headers:

   {
       "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
   }

   {
       "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
   }

3. Adding Headers in BuildShip:
When you click on "Request headers," ensure you enter the correct key-value pairs directly.

4. Using the "+" Symbol:
The "+" symbol should allow you to add new headers. Each entry should consist of a key and its corresponding value, like this:
- Key: Authorization
- Value: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

If you continue facing issues, you can send a support request via in-app support to get more detailed assistance.

No, the label, descriptions are just the info, it won't take any values. pass the bearer along with key when testing in the value , you can refer to this - https://docs.buildship.com/tutorials/secure-api.

Where do I find docs on how to add a header with a value to a rest API call ?
