+    Mixin that enables easier API calls for a plugin
+    Steps to set up:
+    1. Add this mixin before (left of) SettingsMixin and PluginBase
+    2. Add two settings for the required url and token/passowrd (use `SettingsMixin`)
+    3. Save the references to keys of the settings in `API_URL_SETTING` and `API_TOKEN_SETTING`
+    4. (Optional) Set `API_TOKEN` to the name required for the token by the external API - Defaults to `Bearer`
+    5. (Optional) Override the `api_url` property method if the setting needs to be extended
+    6. (Optional) Override `api_headers` to add extra headers (by default the token and Content-Type are contained)
+    7. Access the API in you plugin code via `api_call`
+    Example:
+    ```
