I cannot figure out how to make pull data from Viral Loops.

Documentation: [https://intercom.help/viral-loops/en/articles/2850549-api-reference](https://intercom.help/viral-loops/en/articles/2850549-api-reference)

I am trying to GET Participant Data: Getting participant data: ```  
[https://app.viral-loops.com/api/v2/participant\_data](https://app.viral-loops.com/api/v2/participant_data)

```auto

It looks like the apiToken needs to be in the request parameters, not the header. How would I do this?
```

Hey @Will_G – I believe something like this should work:

It’s not super obvious, but in the “Header Key” dropdown, you can write in your own header, so you can just add “apiToken” there.

Thanks for that suggestion, @andrew!

@Will_G if you still get an error setting up the step `Pull from an API` via headers, then I’d try passing the API token as a parameter instead (i.e. [https://app.viral-loops.com/api/v2/participant\_data?apiToken=\_\_\_](https://app.viral-loops.com/api/v2/participant_data?apiToken=___) and replace the \_\_\_ with your API token).
