The client application needs to ensure it sends the necessary authentication credentials with its request. This typically involves: 1) Obtaining a valid authentication token (e.g., through a login process, OAuth flow, or by fetching an API key), and 2) Including this token or key in the appropriate HTTP header, most commonly the `Authorization` header (e.g., `Authorization: Bearer ` or `Authorization: Basic `), or as a specific API key header/query parameter.
