This function constructs a list of standard HTTP headers required for making API requests, ensuring proper authentication and encoding. These headers are typically included with each API call to provide necessary information such as authorization tokens and content acceptance types. The function is designed to work with authenticated APIs, including BrAPI.
Value
A named list of common HTTP headers, including the authorization token (Bearer), content encoding, and accepted content types.
A named list containing key HTTP headers, including:
Authorization: Bearer token used for authenticated API access.
Accept-Encoding: Specifies supported compression types such as gzip and deflate.
Accept: Specifies that the client accepts responses in JSON format.
Note
Ensure that the global state contains a valid authorization token before making API requests. This function retrieves the token from `qbms_globals$state$token`, which should be set after a successful login or authentication process.
