Hi all I'm getting data from an api with a bearer token.
when I enter bearer token to http node I can connect to server and get my api data
when ever token expires I copy the new one and paste it to http node and deploy ://
I'm trying to come up with an easy solution for this situation.
So I'm listening [http://192.168.1.45:1880/google](http://192.168.1.45:1880/google) to get new token messages sent from my phone by siri shortcuts (just a post request to [http://192.168.1.46:1880/google?token=blablablablablablablablabla](http://192.168.1.46:1880/google?token=blablablablablablablablabla))
but I cannot use this token as header of my post request I tried alot of combinations without success
here is my flow
```auto
[{"id":"8df21d5.cdb3ae","type":"http in","z":"f5f01ef7.09a1a","name":"","url":"/google","method":"get","upload":false,"swaggerDoc":"","x":250,"y":740,"wires":[["54c1e70d.ab3e18","59335758.c6cb9"]]},{"id":"54c1e70d.ab3e18","type":"template","z":"f5f01ef7.09a1a","name":"page","field":"payload","fieldType":"msg","format":"html","syntax":"plain","template":"\n \n \n THANKS

```
and here is my failed function
```auto
var tokengelen = flow.get('globtoken');
var bearer = 'Bearer ' + tokengelen;
msg.headers = {
'Authorization': bearer,
"Content-Type" : "application/json"
};
msg.payload = {
}
return msg;
```
thanks alot ✌

hi @umtksa,
unfortunatly I do not know yout api data, because of that I cant help you with functions if nedded. but you could debug msg{} imediatelly after HTTP request just to see payload from your api.
in your http request I noticed that you checked "use authentication"...
you already tried with unchecked field?
