The API endpoint I’m trying to get data from requires a header called “ **accept-version** ”. I’m able to get data in Postman with the header in place, so the API is working.

Is there a way to add a custom header in the request that’s not in the list?

Hi @Bob_Yarbury,

Once you select the dropdown menu, you can start typing a new header value and press enter to insert a custom header.

Let me know if that helps clear any confusion!
