  header: X-Api-Key
- type: apiKey
  name: API_KEY (query)

    URL'
  location: header
  header: Authorization
  token_url: tokenUrl
  how_to_obtain: Fixter fetches the access token before it runs the test. The token request is a form POST to the token URL with grant_type=client_credentials,
    client_id and client_secret, plus scope and audience when they are set.
