How to include AuthToken in header of API Call?

Question

I am making a Web API 2 project and I have the following code. I am making a Web API call to get a list of items and then I will display them. The following code works but now security has been added and I need to add a "AuthToken" to the header of the request.

$(document).ready(function () {
  // Send an AJAX request
  $.getJSON(uri)
      .done(function (data) {
        // On success, 'data' contains a list of products.
        $.each(data, function (key, item) {
          // Add a list item for the product.
          $('<li>', { text: formatItem(item) }).appendTo($('#products'));
        });
      });
});

How can I modify my code to include the AuthToken in the header?

So the issue here is $.getJSON().

$.getJSON() is shorthand for $.ajax() and doesn't allow you to add headers. You will need to use $.ajax().

See this answer: Can you add headers to getJSON in jQuery?
