How to Add and Pass Bearer Token in Header

When calling an API that uses bearer token auth, you need to properly format and send the header to pass the token to the API. Here are the steps to set the Authorization header with a bearer token.  Bearer tokens are commonly used for authentication when calling APIs. The token represents the user’s identity and is sent in the HTTP Authorization header on API requests. When calling an API that uses bearer token auth, you need to properly format and send the header to pass the token to the API. 

We suggest you to use software like Apidog or Postman to get started communicating with our API.

What is the Bearer Token in  Header?

A Bearer Token is a type of access token that is included in the authorization header of an HTTP request. It is a security token that is commonly used in authentication protocols, such as OAuth 2.0. The bearer token is a string that represents the authorization granted to the client and is included in the request header using the “Authorization” field.

The format of the Authorization header with a Bearer Token typically looks like this:

makefileCopy codeAuthorization: Bearer <token>

Here, <token> is replaced with the actual bearer token that the client received during the authentication process. The server uses this token to verify the identity of the client and grant access to the requested resource or perform the requested action.

Bearer Tokens are often used to access protected resources on behalf of a user after the user has granted permission. They are widely used in APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to secure access to resources and ensure that only authorized clients can make requests. It’s important to handle bearer tokens securely, as they represent a form of sensitive information and should not be disclosed to unauthorized parties.
