                          So I have this curl command.  But I want to store the API-key in a file called api.txt and have it load where the  value is in the curl command. 

api.txt files contains

    'X-Api:'

This command works.

    curl -H 'X-Api:' -T file.zip "https://URL "

Tried: 

    curl -H “Content-Type: text/plain” -d “api.txt” -T file.zip "https://URL "

Got error:

	  "errors" : [ {
		"status" : 401,
		"message" : "Unauthorized"
	  } ]
	}%      

Question:

 1. How can I load either the actual api key or the expected line from api.txt to parse it into the curl command?
 2. is this the way to do this? or a better way?
