API authentication with swift

I want to make a GET request to an API. I have an API key but don't know how to implement it with my swift app. The API documentation says this:

"API requests must be made over HTTPS and be accompanied by an API Key sent via the X-IFL-API-Key header."

Use NSMutableURLRequest and simply add the header:

request.setValue(apiKey, forHTTPHeaderField: "X-IFL-API-Key")

You can find the documentation for NSMutableURLRequest here. Once you have created and configured your URL request, you can "invoke" it by using the various methods of NSURLSession.
