  PHPcurl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['X-Auth-Edge: your-generate-api-key-here']);

  Pythoncustom_headers={"X-Auth-Edge" : "your-generate-api-key-here"}

  JavahttpReq.addHeader("X-Auth-Edge", "your-generate-api-key-here");

  C#http.SetRequestHeader("X-Auth-Edge","your-generate-api-key-here");

  C++request.headers().add(L"X-Auth-Edge", L"your-generate-api-key-here");

  Rubyrequest["X-Auth-Edge"] = "your-generate-api-key-here"
