## Common request format

Data connections use the AI Studio API. Request URLs begin with `https://api.moi.matrixorigin.cn/v5`; each action page provides its complete, ready-to-use request URL.

Every request must include the following headers:

```text
X-API-Key: $AI_STUDIO_API_KEY
X-Workspace-ID: $WORKSPACE_ID
```

- `X-API-Key` is your personal access token.
- `X-Workspace-ID` is the target workspace ID.

Do not use `Authorization: Bearer ...` to send an AI Studio personal access token.
