I am working with Speakatoo’s API and need clarification on how to properly include the API key in the headers for requests. Should it be added as `Authorization: Bearer [API_KEY]`, or does [Speakatoo](https://www.speakatoo.com/) require a different format?

If possible, please provide an example of the correct format. Thank you!

Hey @supply-geoscientist6 👋🏻

From the documentation:

> **[Speakatoo - API Documentation - MP3 & WAV Text to Speech: Male/Female AI...](https://www.speakatoo.com/documentation_view/speakatoo--api-documentation)**
>
> Discover our advanced Text to Speech service with over 1000 lifelike AI voices, including male/female options. Download TTS files in MP3 and WAV formats. Our AI voice generator delivers natural, human-like tones perfect for e-learning, presentations,...

Once you signup/in you go to your account page and get your API Key:

It’s used in the request headers like this:

> You need to pass API Key in the HTTP Authorization request header as ‘X-API-KEY: YOUR-API-KEY’. Your Content-Type header should be ‘Content-Type: application/json’.

I’ve never used this service so I’m just repeating what the documentation is saying.
