Add Header to the API Http request, Angular 2, Ionic 2 - json

Question

I have an ionic 2 app (which uses Angular 2 Http), i have the code which gets the JSON from the API, however i need to send the app-id, app-key and Accept as a header, this is the main code...
import {Component} from '#angular/core';
import {NavController} from 'ionic-angular';
import {Http} from 'angular2/http';
#Component({
templateUrl: 'build/pages/latest-page/latest-page.html'
})
export class LatestPage {
static get parameters() {
return [[NavController]];
}
constructor(_navController, http) {
this._navControler = _navController;
this.http = http;
this.http.get("https://twit.tv/api/v1.0/people/77").subscribe(data => {
console.log("Got Data");
this.items = JSON.parse(data._body).people;
}, error => {
console.log("Error with Data");
});
}
And this is how i tried to add the header, however its not working...
constructor(_navController, http) {
this._navControler = _navController;
this.http = http;
var headers = new Headers();
headers.append('app-id', '0000');
headers.append('app-key', 'abc000abc');
headers.append('Accept', 'application/json ');
this.http.get("https://twit.tv/api/v1.0/people/77"),{"Headers": headers}.subscribe (data => {
console.log("Got Data");
this.items = JSON.parse(data._body).people;
}, error => {
console.log("Error with Data");
});
}
Any ideas?
Thanks

Headers must be set inside the RequestOptions, which is the second parameter http.get()
Besides you have a syntax error in your code. Request options is the second parameter of .get(url, {}), and you wrote like this: .get(url),{}
this.http.get("https://twit.tv/api/v1.0/people/77",{"Headers": headers}).subscribe (data => {
console.log("Got Data");
this.items = JSON.parse(data._body).people;
}, error => {
console.log("Error with Data");
});
Creating explicitly request options.
let opt: RequestOptions
let myHeaders: Headers = new Headers
myHeaders.set('Content-type', 'application/json')
opt = new RequestOptions({
headers: myHeaders
})
_http.get(url, opt).
After some misunderstanding, I'll leave here you're own code with my suggestions:
constructor(_navController, http) {
/*this isn't necessary, _navController and http are already available for "this. "*/
this._navControler = _navController;
this.http = http;
let opt: RequestOptions
let myHeaders: Headers = new Headers
myHeaders.set('app-id', 'c2549df0');
myHeaders.append('app-key', 'a2d31ce2ecb3c46739b7b0ebb1b45a8b');
myHeaders.append('Content-type', 'application/json')
opt = new RequestOptions({
headers: myHeaders
})
this.http.get("https://twit.tv/api/v1.0/people/77",opt).subscribe (data => {
console.log("Got Data");
this.items = JSON.parse(data._body).people;
}, error => {
console.log("Error with Data");
});
}
