Basic Authentication

Basic Authentication is the quick and simple way to authenticate API requests. You only need the application key and secret from the dashboard - this lets you quickly prototype and evaluate the API.

To use Basic Authentication, set the application key as the username and the secret as the password, as shown below:

Copy

Copied

// Application call
usernameAndPassword = ApplicationKey + ":" + ApplicationSecret

The username and password must be base64 encoded before being added to the header, as shown below:

Copy

Copied

Authorization = "Basic " + Base64(usernameAndPassword)

Note:

Basic Authentication is easy to use and should only be used for testing or prototyping. For production, we recommend using signed requests.
