Google App Script: URLFetchApp.fetch with header

Question

I'm trying to fetch data from the rainforestqa API but to gain access I need to send my api_key as a header. The code I already have is as follows,

var header = {
     "access-control-allow-headers":"Content-Type",
     "CLIENT_TOKEN" : "API-TOKEN"
}; 

var options = {
     "method" : "post",
     "header" : header
};

UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://app.rainforestqa.com:443/api/1/runs/TESTNUMBER/tests.json?result=failed", options);

But this returns 405 error. Does anyone have any ideas why this isn't working?

Thanks

It turns out the answer is as follows, I basically got to this via trial and error.

$var options = {
     "async": true,
     "crossDomain": true,
     "method" : "GET",
     "headers" : {
       "CLIENT_TOKEN" : "my-api-key",
       "cache-control": "no-cache"
     }
   };
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://app.rainforestqa.com:443/api/1/runs/test_id/tests.json?result=failed", options);

I believe you have misspelled the word headers. I know it is an old question, but I did not see this answer before and it might help others who arrive this page.

That's the right way to set the method and headers but the crossDomain and async params you included in the options will do nothing. According to Google's docs those aren't support options: developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/url-fetch/… (my guess is they're jQuery options though....adding to the confusion)

Thank you for this, didn't realize headers needed to be in their own object inside of the options object. Also, the Google documentation is not very helpfull
