Authentication

Overview

All API requests are authenticated using Basic Http Authentication. This requires you to add the Authorization header to every request. The value of the header is "BASIC " followed by {username}:{password} base-64 encoded, where {username} and {password} are the username and password you have been given for access. For example, if your username where "username" and your password "password", you would base-64 encode the string "username:password", resulting in dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=. The value of the authorization header would therefore be "BASIC dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=".
