Do you have the code to do the API requests?
Did you try bot variables or configuration variables?

Now in the Code card where you make requests to the API, use the variable like this:
Copy code
js
const headers = {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${env.SERVICE_API_KEY}`

That's just a name I used, you should name it accordingly to the service you are using
