Yelp API Authorization using JavaScript

I am still learning to work with different APIs, and have been working with JavaScript and the Yelp API. I have tried using Ajax, as well as the code I have posted here, but I continue to get the error of:

"code": "TOKEN_MISSING", "description": "An access token must be supplied in order to use this endpoint."

I will continue to search through other posts, but if anyone could point out to me what I am doing incorrectly and how to fix it, I would really appreciate it?

var URL = 'https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/search?location=40515&term&categories=vet&limit=10';

var API_KEY = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

   var req = new Request(url, {
           method: 'GET',
           headers: new Headers({
             'Authorization: Bearer', API_KEY,
             'Content-Type': 'application/json'
           })
           mode: 'no-cors'
         });

        fetch (req)
          .then((response) => {
             if(response.ok){
             return response.json();
           }else{ssss
             throw new Error();
           }
         })
         .then((jsonData) => {
             console.log(jsonData);
           })
          .catch((err) => {
             console.log('ERROR: ', err.message);
           });

I think an answer I posted before to a similar question with a full code sample may lead you in the right direction:

Have a look, it’s an easy and simple process of pulling from the service :)

I think you just need to fix up:

'Authorization: Bearer', API_KEY,

to be something like:

'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,

or:

'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + API_KEY,

And if this line isn't just redacted for posting here:

var API_KEY = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

then you would need to actually get an API key from yelp as 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' would not be a valid key
