Pass credentials to headers creating own node

Questions
1

Hello all the n8n community,

While creating my own node with credentials, all seems to work fine but I’m not capable to pass the credentials to the header.

but when I do console.log(credentials); where credentials is => const credentials = this.getCredentials(‘credentials’) as IDataObject;
it prints the credentials perfectly as I wrote it in my node.
{
‘credentials’ : ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’
}

How can I pass that exact credentials directly to the header?

Thank you very much, I hope I have explained myself good enough.

Thank you very much @harshil1712
I had already red the documentation but the method they use
'Authorization': `Bearer ${credentials.apiKey}`,
didn’t worked for me.
Fortunately, I managed to solve the problem by simply doing this. It may not be very elegant but it works:
header : credentials

Ah yes, the documentation is specific for the SendGrid API. I shared it with you for reference. You would have to modify the headers according to the API you use. Anyways, I am glad you were able to solve this! Have fun :tada:
