I have an endpoint that I must pass a header.
accept: Application/json.
I have not found a way to accomplish this yet. Without it Im afraid I will not be able to use Buildship

You can add the new header X-API-KEY (or your required key) directly to the node logic by modifying the headers in the code of the API call node. Also, ensure to pass their values in the export params and node fields too to make it work.

To pass headers in an API request using BuildShip, you can utilize the REST API Call node, which allows you to set headers. Here's how you can include the "Accept: Application/json" header:
1. Add the REST API Call Node: This node is used to make HTTP requests.
2. Set the Request URL: Enter the endpoint URL you want to call.
3. Set the Request Method: Choose the appropriate HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.).
4. Add Headers: In the headers section, you can define your headers as key-value pairs. For example, you would add a header with the key
Accept and the value application/json.
5. Configure Other Options: Optionally, you can set query parameters, request body, etc., depending on your endpoint's requirements.
6. Test the Request: Use the workflow testing feature to ensure your request is configured correctly and is functioning as expected.
If you continue to face difficulties, please ensure you are entering headers correctly, considering factors such as case sensitivity and formatting. If further issues arise, you can reach out to BuildShip support for personalized assistance .

I am still unable to identify which field are the headers. I even tried adding the header to the code itself.
I got this figured out thanks
