401 comes from your server.

Why do you leave the sample header "X-FOO": "BAR" in your headers?

[GurjeetLamba]

I have Tried removing it Also , but otherwise my syntax for writing token is correct?

[christocracy]

Why don’t you debug this at your server and observe the incoming headers to determine why your server does not like the provided token?

[GurjeetLamba]

That I will do after making sure I am sending the token in correct way from my app, I have just followed the documentation for writing url and token

[christocracy]

See Mozilla MDN docs for information about Bearer token.

[GurjeetLamba]

I Use the Bearer token while calling other API's so nothing wrong in that , But should I use the authorization keyword only ?

[GurjeetLamba]

headers: {

"authorization":'Bearer ' + getToken.data.Token ,

  },

[christocracy]

The Config.headers are applied to the http request exactly as provided. There is nothing unusual about your authorization header.

consult with your server logs.

Hi I pass a source parameter also inside my header when I call any API ,May be I am getting error due to this , What will be the way to pass source inside header with double quotes or without double quotes ?

[christocracy]

HTTP header values are always of type String

[GurjeetLamba]

so I should use { "source": "92.204.135.120" }

?

[christocracy]

“HTTP header values are always of type String” implies that values must always be enclosed in quotes.
