 * Maybe someone will need:
    I found this code in **cf7-to-api/includes/class-cf7-
   api-admin.php**
 *     ```
       $args = array(
                       'timeout'     => 5,
                       'redirection' => 5,
                       'httpversion' => '1.0',
                       'user-agent'  => 'WordPress/' . $wp_version . '; ' . home_url(),
                       'blocking'    => true,
                       'headers'     => array(),
                       'cookies'     => array(),
                       'body'        => null,
                       'compress'    => false,
                       'decompress'  => true,
                       'sslverify'   => true,
                       'stream'      => false,
                       'filename'    => null
                   );
       ```
   
 * I set
    `'headers' => array()` on: `'headers' => array(htmlspecialchars("authorization:
   Token <your_64_char_api_key>"),"content-type: application/json"),`

 * This is not a recommended approach because your changes will be deleted once 
   you update the plugin
 * You can add the following to your functions.php file
 * add_filter( ‘qs_cf7_api_get_args’ , ‘add_http_header’ , 10 , 1);
 * function add_http_header( $args ){
    $args[‘headers’] = array( htmlspecialchars(“
   authorization: Token <your_64_char_api_key>”),”content-type: application/json”);
 *  return $args;
    }

 * I’m trying to use this snippet and am having trouble. Am required to use a Bearer
   token for this particular API, and still getting 401 errors no matter what I 
   do. Is there an easier way to access the header for an API request sent from 
   this plugin?

 * I too am trying to use the snippet in my functions.php and it makes the website
   a blank page.
