You have to add the X-Api-key as a header.  
You can do so in the http request node.  
Or feed in `msg.headers["X-Api-key"]` set to your api.  
Can you supply the first curl, and a flow example of what you have tried.

In order to make code readable and usable it is necessary to surround your code with three backticks (also known as a left quote or backquote `````)

````auto
```

```

You can edit and correct your post by clicking the pencil ✏ icon.
