REST API and JWT Authentication

So I'm attempint to use the REST API modular input to authenticate and pull down data from a custom Express API. I can connect and pull data via cURL, though the authentication is via JWT auth token.

the cURL command looks like this:

`curl https://my/URL-demo/api/splunkexport/ -H "Authorization: JWT <JWT auth token here>"

in the REST API Modular input, there is no selection for the JWT authentication.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

I had to rewrite the API modular input to accept this. This was no easy task.

I also have an API with JWT Bearer token. Can you share your script please?
