Authentication Failed in HTTP Callout

I am making an HTTP Callout using Apex in which I am not getting authenticated.

 

There are two required parameters : username and api_key

 

Http h = new Http();

HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();

req.setEndpoint('whatever the url is');

req.setmethod(POST);

 

req.setheader('username','goelgaurish@gmail.com');

req.setheader('api_key','idsfiubsdkjrnwopeiurwoheoir12431);

 

HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
return res.getBody();

 

I am not able to get a success while authenticating. Please correct the code if I am missing something.

Hi Gaurish, 

 

Try adding the future annotation. 

 

  @future (callout=true)
  public static void doCalloutFromFuture()
