# Base

The Base section should contain data that is common to all (or most) requests. At the minimum, it should include the root URL, the authorization headers, the error-handling section, and the sanitization.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Correct" %}

```javascript
{
    "baseUrl": "https://www.example.com/api/v1",
    "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {{connection.accessToken}}"
    },
    "response": {
        "error": {
            "message": "[{{statusCode}}] {{body.error.message}} (error code: {{body.error.code}})"
        }
    },
    "log": {
        "sanitize": [
            "request.headers.authorization"
        ]
    }
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Incorrect" %}

<div align="left"><img src="/files/108UUBOnZZZAOP9McioG" alt="" width="563"></div>
