#### HTTP Bridges Header

For HTTP Bridges, an additional HTTP header is required for authentication.

* **Authorization**: The value must be set as a Bearer token using the Personal Access Token (PAT) generated during bridge configuration.
For example: `Authorization: Bearer <your-personal-access-token>`

This header must be included in all HTTP requests sent to the Mendix Event Broker via the HTTP Bridge. For details on how to obtain your Bearer token, see [Using the HTTP Bridge](#using-the-http-bridge).

{{% alert color="info" %}}
You can include additional HTTP headers in your request, such as `ce_time: 2025-06-13T15:36:52.148542+02:00`. For example, passing `ce_time` will set the published time of the event. All other custom HTTP headers will be forwarded as Kafka headers by default.
