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
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
| Authorization | Credentials for authentication (tokens, Basic Auth) |
| Content-Type | Format of the request body (application/json, etc.) |
| Accept | Expected response format |
| Cache-Control | Caching behavior directive |
| User-Agent | Client 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.
