Configuring End Point Header Details

In the API Management module, this feature allows you to define the parameters that the API request’s header section contains. The header parameters are used for authentication purposes. The header parameters provide complete information about the source of the API request.

While integrating an API with the vConnect module, configuring header details is not a mandatory step, but you can use this feature if you want to send the modified parameters in the header section.

• Parameters of the request body
• Parameters of header section
• Constant values
• Built-in modules that are incorporated with the vConnect module, etc.

To define the end point header details:

1. Under API Type, click the End Point Header Details tab, and the Header Details 1 area appears.

2. In the Header Details 1 area, enter the end point header details as follows:
