I’m trying to consume wowza rest api using php with curl following is my code

```auto
$url = 'https://api-sandbox.cloud.wowza.com/api/v1.3/live_streams';

$headers = array(
"wsc-access-key:myaccessKy;
wsc-api-key:myapikey");
$cr = curl_init($url);
     
      curl_setopt($cr,CURLOPT_POST,1);
      curl_setopt($cr, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headers);
      $res = curl_exec($cr);
      curl_close($cr);
      dd($res);

```

when i dd the response i get this

{“meta”:{“status”:401,“code”:“ERR-401-NoApiKey”,“title”:“No Api Key Error”,“message”:“No API key sent in header.”,“description”:""}}

What could be the reason,

Thanks.

Have you competed this step already?

You will need to request API access via your cloud account and then you will see the API keys in your account.

Each key in your header array needs to be in quotes.

```auto
$headers = array("wsc-access-key:myaccessKy";"wsc-api-key:myapikey");

```
