Hey @Umesh👋

Looking at the [Coin API docs](https://docs.coinapi.io/#authorization), you can send your API key using a custom header or a query parameter.

To pass your API key as a custom header, manually type `X-CoinAPI-Key` as your **Header Key** and enter your API key as your **Header Value** :

To pass your API key as a query parameter, add `apikey` as a **URL Parameter** followed by your API key:

Your final URL should look like this: `https://rest.coinapi.io/v1/assests?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY`

Let me know if that helps!
