I'm trying to monitor an API that is behind Azure API management using heartbeat, and I need to submit the API key.

This works: "curl [https://api.blabla.com/service/v1/product/apicall](https://api.blabla.com/service/v1/product/apicall)" -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: 1234567890" -i -s"

My heartbeat config is:  
...  
check.request:  
method: "GET"  
headers:  
"'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': '1234567890'"

...

but all i get is ""statusCode": 401, "message": "Access denied due to missing subscription key"  
What am I missing?

If you look at the headers section: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-heartbeat-options.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-heartbeat-options.html) you will notice that it isnt wrapped in double quotes.

I think you would just want to put `'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': '12345'` on the line after the other header.

It looks like:

```auto
- type: http
  schedule: '@every 5s'
  urls: ["http://localhost:8080/demo/add"]
  check.request:
    method: POST
    headers:
      'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
      'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': '12345' # Maybe?
    # urlencode the body:
    body: "name=first&email=someemail%40someemailprovider.com"
  check.response:
    status: 200
    body:
      - Saved
      - saved

```
