Is there a way to remove 'Bearer' label from the API Key Authentication header

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 9

When choosing API Key as the security method for a custom connection in Power Automate, the Authentication header defaults to a Bearer label for the token.  The application which i'm trying to connect to requires the flag to be something different, is there a way to change this?

 

Defaults to:

"Authorization": "Bearer xxxxxxxxx"

 

Want to change to:

"Authorization": "rest_api_key=xxxxxx"

    I answered my own question, mostly through viewing older posts.... so thank you to the community.  For anyone that is still looking for an answer - I just included my API Token's prefix when prompted for the API Key - rest_api_key=<<MyAPIKey>>. 

     

    So you don't have to remove the BEARER prefix, just include the one you want in the token's string when prompted to enter the API Key for the Connection.
