~~Here is an authorization header that I use in Ruby:~~

~~headers = { ‘Authorization’ =\> “Bearer #{do\_api\_key}” }~~

~~So I think that you need to add `Bearer ` beforeyour api key.~~

Here are headers:

```
         headers = { 'api-key' => discourse_api_key, 'api-username' => 'system' }

```

So I think you need headers like those. [Discourse REST API Documentation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-api-documentation/22706) is supposed to help with that.
