`Http://mywebsiteaddress/{{toknen}}/path`

prior to http node set msg.token to the token value. Then {{token}} will be replaced by the msg.token value you have set.

This is all mentioned in the side bar nodes docs.

> When configured within the node, the URL property can contain [mustache-style](http://mustache.github.io/mustache.5.html) tags. These allow the url to be constructed using values of the incoming message. For example, if the url is set to `example.com/{{{topic}}}` , it will have the value of `msg.topic` automatically inserted. Using {{{...}}} prevents mustache from escaping characters like / & etc

if you require more help provide an example of your flow, following the instructions below.

[How to import/export a flow](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/editor/workspace/import-export)

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
``` 
   code goes here 
```

````

See this post for more details - [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506)
