PRIVACY Card API Authorization

I have recently been working with API's but I am stuck on one thing and it's been holding me back for a few days. I am trying to work with Privacy's API and I do not understand the Authentication/Authorization process. When I enter the url in a browser I get the error "message": "Please provide API key in Authorization header", even when I use the correct format of Authorization. I also get an error when I make a request in Python. The format I'm using for the url is https://api.privacy.com/v1/card "Authorization: api-key:". If someone could explain how to work this or simply give an example of how I would make a request through Python3. The API information is in the link below. Thank you in advance.

https://developer.privacy.com/docs

This is the code I am using in Python. After I run this I receive a 401 status code. 

import requests
headers={'Authorization': 'api-key:200e6036-6894-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx'}
url = 'https://api.privacy.com/v1/card'
r = requests.get(url)
print("Status code:", r.status_code)

You need to add the authentication header to the get call. It isn't enough to include it in a header variable. You need to provide those headers to requests

import requests

response = requests.get('https://api.privacy.com/v1/card', headers={'Authorization': 'api-key 65a9566c-XXXXXXXXXXXX'})

print(response.json())
