¶ Basic Authentication
Basic authentication is a simple, but still widely used form of user authentication. You get a User Name and a Password from the API service and you need to authorize with them during each request.
Let's see, how you can set it up in RESTwithUS:
First select your API provider from the list and open Details:
Now, set the required fields in a Login section:
- Authentication – Set to
Basic. - User Name – Fill in your username obtained from the API service.
- Password – Fill in your password obtained from the API service.
And that's it! All API requests for this provider will be now authenticated with your user name and password.
