Request Headers

Set custom HTTP headers to pass metadata, authentication, and content information with your requests.

Headers are key-value pairs sent with every HTTP request. They carry information about the request context, authentication, content type, and more.

Common Headers

HeaderDescription
AuthorizationCredentials for authentication (tokens, Basic Auth)
Content-TypeFormat of the request body (application/json, etc.)
AcceptExpected response format
Cache-ControlCaching behavior directive
User-AgentClient identification string

Using the Headers Tab

The Headers tab lets you define custom key-value pairs. Each row includes a key, value, description, and enable toggle.

  • Toggle headers on/off without removing them
  • Add descriptions to document each header
  • Common headers like Content-Type are automatically managed when you set them via the Body tab

Bulk Edit

Add multiple headers at once using the bulk edit mode. Each header on a new line, key and value separated by a colon:

headers

Authorization: Bearer token123
Content-Type: application/json
# X-Debug: true

Lines starting with # are treated as disabled.
