SurveyMonkey api Coldfusion issue

I'm having trouble getting the header param "Authorization" to work correctly using cfhttp and cfhttpparam.

The connection is working fine... I am getting out through our proxy so that's not the issue.

The api documentation states that "Authorization" in the header should be formatted as "Authorization:bearer XXXYYYZZ".

When I try to add the "bearer" with a space after it I get the following error: {"status":3,"errmsg":"Expected object or value"}

When I do not add the prefix "bearer" at all I get the following error: {"status":1,"errmsg":"Invalid \"Authorization\" data in request header"}

I've tried "bearer XXXYYYZZ" and "bearer%20XXXYYYZZ" and "bearer XXXYYYZZ" as well with the same results.

Any ideas? Thanks!

CODE:

<cfhttp 
    timeout="2000" 
    url="https://api.surveymonkey.net/v2/surveys/get_survey_list/?api_key=xxxx"
    proxyserver="proxy.xxxx.com" 
    proxyport="8080" 
    method="post" 
    result="httpResponse" 
    charset="utf-8"
    throwonerror="Yes">
    <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="bearer XXXYYYZZ">
</cfhttp>
<cfdump var="#httpResponse#">

Looks like you need to send an empty JSON struct in the body. The API requires a JSON input, even if there are no parameters to be sent in. Just add another cfhttpparam of type body with a value of {}

<cfhttp 
    timeout="2000" 
    url="https://api.surveymonkey.net/v2/surveys/get_survey_list/?api_key=xxxx"
    proxyserver="proxy.xxxx.com" 
    proxyport="8080" 
    method="post" 
    result="httpResponse" 
    charset="utf-8"
    throwonerror="Yes">
    <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="bearer XXXYYYZZ">
    <cfhttpparam name="body" type="body" value="{}">
</cfhttp>
<cfdump var="#httpResponse#">
