Almost no way this massive string is meaningful at this scope. Feel free to use

```

And header Authorization = '<some_magic_key>'

```

and the substitute in the magic value inside of the step definition instead. 

That looks like a step that takes up multiple lines and that is why you are getting a lexing error. To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing in Gherkin as a step that takes up multiple lines. There are, however, steps that can take large blocks of text:

```

And request

  """

  {

    # write your big JSON blob here

  }

  """

```

Enjoy!
