Custom Headers

If you need to pass a specific parameter to the target web site, you can pass the headers to our endpoints just the same way.
To use this feature, you need to set customHeaders parameter to true.
Note that we take care of required headers such as user agents, cookies etc. you should not worry about these. But if you still want to pass those headers, the headers that you sent will be passed to client side since they are prioritized.
