How to set Custom Headers in xrpl.js

Question

I need to set custom headers for my requests in xrpl.js in order to connect to a Blockchain Service with an API Key. I see that ConnectionOptions has an authorization field, which then is used as

options.headers = { Authorization: `Basic ${base64}` }

in createWebSocket, but my service requires

options.headers = { 'x-api-key': '<My API Key>' }

Is there any way to do that?

Answer 1

xrpl.js is built to connect to the XRP Ledger. You won't have much success trying to connect to other services/APIs with xrpl.js .

The best way is to use a different library for such connections. There are many other libraries which lets you connect to APIs, such as node-fetch. They will also allow you to set custom headers.
