How to add Header into request GLOBALLY

I want to add a header for each api call, since my API requires a X-API-KEY header. Anyone know how?

Hi, I am refine support bot :wave:. I am here to help you with your question. I searched for the answer to your question in the refine documentation and found an answer! 🏆
Answer: You can use axios.interceptors.request.use to add the X-API-KEY header to each API call. SOURCES: ./docs/tutorial/5-understanding-authprovider/1-create-authprovider.md, ./docs/api-reference/core/hooks/data/useCustom/index.md

Note: If this is the answer you need, then we are very lucky. If not, please wait for someone from the refine core team or the community to try to help you.

you can use axios interceptors to do that for example: in tutorial we demonstrate how to do this: https://refine.dev/docs/tutorial/understanding-authprovider/create-authprovider/#setting-authorization-credentials

axiosInstance.interceptors.request.use(
  (request: AxiosRequestConfig) => {
      if (request.headers) {
       request.headers = {
              "x-api-key": API_KEY,
          };
      }
      return request;
  },
);

axiosInstance.interceptors.request.use(
  (request: AxiosRequestConfig) => {
      if (request.headers) {
       request.headers = {
              "x-api-key": API_KEY,
          };
      }
      return request;
  },
);

if you are using simple-rest, simple-rest accepts httpClient as a second parameter. you can create your own axiosInstance and pass it to simple-rest

@alicanerdurmaz thank you very much It does give my an mismatch type error Saying 'axios' is not assignable to parameter of refine They're two different interfaces And I import {axios}

axiosInstance.interceptors.request.use((request: any) => {
        if(request.headers) {
            console.log(request.headers)
            request.headers = {
                ...request.headers,
                "x-api-key": "1234567890",
            };
        }
        return request
    })

axiosInstance.interceptors.request.use((request: any) => {
        if(request.headers) {
            console.log(request.headers)
            request.headers = {
                ...request.headers,
                "x-api-key": "1234567890",
            };
        }
        return request
    })

Trying this but no luck unfortunate

Hey @raulfernandez 👋 , Is the correct version installed? The 'refine simple-rest' data provider is using version 0.26 of axios. https://github.com/refinedev/refine/blob/next/packages/simple-rest/package.json#L39

npm install axios@0.26

npm install axios@0.26
