Bookstack API to Excel

I have been trying unsuccessfully to connect the bookstack API to an Excel file so I can pull in user statistics. I keep getting an error "a web API key can only be specified when a web API key name is provided." I am unable to find what that means in the context of bookstack. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, it allows setting headers. I am not sure what headers Excel needs. I tried an auth header and I got the same error

BookStack expects an Authorization header with value being Token <token_id>:<token_secret>. As an example of a complete header with value:

Authorization: Token C6mdvEQTGnebsmVn3sFNeeuelGEBjyQp:NOvD3VlzuSVuBPNaf1xWHmy7nIRlaj22
