I am trying to consume a publicly exposed URL and I need to pass auth headers to it. The format of the HTTP header is :

auth:{"Username": "p09jh789-f098-h6fv-b386-008cd88bd4fe","Password": "xxxxxxxx","authKey": "62b6380d-9e06-6age-cf09-134614b77d5e"}

I tried to set auth header for the REST API and I am not able to pass this JSON string since text headers throw up datatype issue. This happens even if I try to escape the JSON string. Please help me with doing it.

    You can customize the request by adding the 'OnBeforeRequest' action on the consumed API. Here you should be able to set the customised header values. – Hanno May 22 '17 at 13:53
  • But that doesn't allow me to set a header value to be a JSON object :( – Poppy May 23 '17 at 12:46
  • Not sure what you mean by *throw up the datatype issue*. HTTP Headers are always plain text. Any other format you want to send in a HTTP header needs to be converted to a plain text string beforehand. – Miguel Ventura May 23 '17 at 19:04
  • Can you perhaps share the URI of the API you are consuming so that we can help you test? – Hanno May 25 '17 at 16:08
  • [When right-clicking the consumer RESTful Api you can add the parameters here:](https://i.stack.imgur.com/nhiZF.png) – Roman Vinnick Apr 26 '20 at 17:20

Send each value as a different header item. And validate each item in the OnBeforeRequest.
