Google App Script connection returning error 401

Question

I'm using a google script to connect to an external API with the code:

  var url='https://app.ecwid.com/api/v1/XXX/orders'

  var parameters = { method : 'get',
                    headers : {'Authorization': 'Bearer '+'yyy'}, 
                    contentType:'application/json',                   
                    muteHttpExceptions:true};

  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,parameters).getContentText();

  Logger.log(response);

But why is this returning the following error?

HTTP ERROR 401
Problem accessing /api/v1/XXX/orders. Reason:
    Unauthorized

Try removing the contentType from parameters and give it a shot.

For cross-domain requests, setting the content type to anything other than

application/x-www-form-urlencoded
multipart/form-data
text/plain

will trigger the browser to send a preflight OPTIONS request to the server.

Thanks, I tried removing the contentType and I got the same error.

Are you sending the right set of parameters? You're supposed to send a secure_auth_key in the parameters, failing which would lead to 401 error. help.ecwid.com/customer/portal/articles/…

I'm sending the key in the header parameter. 'yyy' in my code above.
