You need to add a header. How it is formatted depends on the API.
I have this code, I'm also using the Chilkat ActiveX control for the HTTP
requests.
oHTTPRequest.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + Token)
As an side note, I started using the Chilkat control over the MSXML control
because the logging.
The MSXML doesn't have connectivity logging to diagnose problems. Chilkat does.
Have fun,
Tracy

Keeping it basic at the moment with MsXml2.XmlHttp
But I have noticed in the middle of vfpoauth there is a signrequest method that
doesn't seem to be used ... I have also ventured into the vfptweetapi and that
has the same function so I will delve deeper tomorrow
