To solve the issue described in FlowiseDocs Issue #132 regarding the plugin API key, follow these steps:

1. Update the Flowise Repository:
   Ensure you have the latest version of the Flowise repository. Sync your fork or pull the latest changes, as the required functionality has already been implemented.

2. Use the Updated Configuration Fields:
   The maintainers added a feature to allow users to configure headers for GET and POST tools, such as:

   • Authorization headers: Include the API key in the format Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
   • Other Custom Headers: Add any required headers specific to your plugin.

   In the tool's settings, you should now see fields where you can specify the URL, description, and headers for API requests.

3. Steps to Add Headers:

   • Navigate to the settings for your plugin or the relevant tool in Flowise.
   • Locate the "Headers" field in the configuration options.
   • Input your API key as part of the header configuration, e.g.,
     json { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
   • Save the configuration and test the functionality to ensure the plugin works correctly.

4. Verify Plugin Operation:
   Run the chat app and confirm that the plugin is successfully connected and operational.
