Add custom headers

[alexblack]

Is there a way to add additional headers (on the fly, per request) to each http request made by the parse sdk?

I'd love to add a couple headers to identify which of our apps is making the request, and other info like that.

This can be done today with the Android SDK by configuring a network interceptor.

At the moment, unfortunately; no.

However it should be pretty simple to add a header provider to it. Is it something you’re willing to contribute back?

How can we do this?

// like axios?
Parse.interceptors('request', request => {
	request.headers['foo'] = 'bar';
	return request;
});

Seems over complicated as it introduces a new concept

@flovilmart if you have any ideas and need help, let me know...

On the other end; that could work, perhaps using an event emitter somewhere that emits the request object and let a consumer mutate it

[paulovitin]

Something like this?

Parse.on('request', mutator);

Also interested in this feature. Is there any way to hook into parse to add custom header to every request from the app ?

+1 on this. This feature would add a lot of flexibility.

Upvote for this. In my case, I can easily distinguish requests from my custom express API handlers and the ones made by Parse itself in my Parse hooks. Now they are simply identical.
