I'm working with an API which provides a HTTP header called token with value 12abc3 and my url is https://example.com/view/quote. Is there a way by which I can add the header as a parameter in the url so that I can type it directly on my browser's address bar instead of using cURL orHurl.it??

You can't set HTTP headers as part of URL, it's not the way it works. At best you may be able to use a browser plugin to add/set arbitrary HTTP headers, but that will depend on the browser you are using. And will be a one off test/development option.
HTTP headers let the client and the server pass additional information with an HTTP request or response. An HTTP header consists of its case-insensitive name followed by a colon ( : ), then by its value. Whitespace before the value is ignored.
In the Home pane, double-click HTTP Response Headers. In the HTTP Response Headers pane, click Add... in the Actions pane. In the Add Custom HTTP Response Header dialog box, set the name and value for your custom header, and then click OK.
The only way I can imagine being able to do this would be to write a small HTTP proxy that takes a specially formatted URL and extracts header values out of the URL and re-issues the request for you. I'm not aware of any service to do this automatically for you.
