How do I add the bearer token in a header using the getdata() function.
an example from the API
curl 'https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets?ids=1204084171334832128&tweet.fields=public_metrics&expansions=attachments.media_keys&media.fields=public_metrics' --header 'Authorization: Bearer $BEARER_TOKEN'

What about this?
headers = {'Authorization', ['Bearer ', yourToken]};
options = weboptions('HeaderFields', headers);
res = webread(url, options);
% if that fails, what about this?
res = webwrite(url, headers);

The suggestion in the comments from Ive J works. I ended up, however, calling the python library requests in order to automate the creation of the Oauth1 authentication. This made it very easy to format.
