hello! how can I add a bearer token to my tool calls for authentication?

@Arcu Hello! To add a bearer token to your tool calls for authentication, you'll need to include it in the header of your API request. Here's how you can do it: 1. Retrieve your bearer token from the Dashboard where your API keys are managed. 2. Include the token in the API call by setting the
Authorization
header to
Bearer <your_token>
. For example, if you're making an HTTP request, it would look something like this:
Copy code
http
GET /your-endpoint
Host: your-api-host.com
Authorization: Bearer your_actual_bearer_token
Make sure to replace
your_actual_bearer_token
with the token you retrieved from the Dashboard. If you're using a tool or library to make the API call, refer to its documentation on how to set headers for requests. If you need to perform this action through a specific function or tool within the VAPI, please provide more details or the name of the function you're trying to use, and I can guide you further!
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

no @Vapi , I mean for the tool calls, to the endpoint I am calling, sending a token

@Arcu I see, you want to ensure that when you're using VAPI to make calls to your endpoint, it includes a bearer token for authentication. To achieve this, you would typically include the token in the configuration of your tool or in the setup of your VAPI environment. If you're configuring a tool within VAPI, you would set the bearer token in the headers of the HTTP request that the tool will make. This is often done in the tool's configuration settings where you can specify headers. Here's a general example of how you might include it in a JSON configuration:
Copy code
json
{
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer your_actual_bearer_token"
  }
}
Replace
your_actual_bearer_token
with the actual token you intend to use. If you need to set this up for a specific tool within VAPI and require assistance with the configuration, please provide the name of the tool or the relevant details, and I'll be happy to help you with the specific steps.
