curl -X GET https://api.example.com/v1/users \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"JavaScript Example
javascript
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
fetch('https://api.example.com/v1/users', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));Python Example
python
import requests
api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
headers = {
'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/v1/users', headers=headers)
data = response.json()
print(data)Step 3: Handle the Response
