how to send HMAC SHA 256 Secret key to binance api?

Question

I write this code:

api_key = "https://api.binance.com/api/v3/myTrades??X-MBX-APIKEY="+config.API_Key+"&signature="+config.Secret_Key

and get this error:

{"code":-2014,"msg":"API-key format invalid."}

and this the documentation of binance api https://binance-docs.github.io/apidocs/spot/en/#endpoint-security-type

You need to pass the X-MBX-APIKEY as a request header, not as a GET param.

Unfortunately your code doesn't show how you build the request, but here's an example using axios:

axios({
    url: 'https://api.binance.com/api/v3/myTrades',
    method: 'get',
    headers: {
        'X-MBX-APIKEY': config.API_Key
    }
}).then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
})
