how do i authenticate an API key in clay when all the documentation has is a curl and a postman screenshot?

When making API requests to Clay, you need to include your API key in the request headers using the following format: LBKSAuthorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEYLBKSFor example, if you're writing your own code or using a different API client: 1. Add a header with the key Authorization 2. Set its value to Bearer followed by your API key 3. Include this header with every request If you're using webhooks, you can alternatively use the x-clay-webhook-auth header with the provided authentication token. The request should also include: ** The appropriate HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE) ** Your API endpoint * Any required query parameters or body data
