+#### Auth header
+
+**PeerTube >= 3.2**

+To make your own HTTP requests using the current authenticated user, use an helper to automatically set appropriate headers:
+
+```js
+function register (...) {
+  registerHook({
+    target: 'action:auth-user.information-loaded',
+    handler: ({ user }) => {
+
+      // Useless because we have the same info in the ({ user }) parameter
+      // It's just an example
+      fetch('/api/v1/users/me', {
+        method: 'GET',
+        headers: peertubeHelpers.getAuthHeader()
+      }).then(res => res.json())
+        .then(data => console.log('Hi %s.', data.username))
+    }
+  })
+}
