Manually Creating Basic Auth Headers
Last updated
Last updated
Many development frameworks support basic auth out-of-the-box (e.g. cURL) but you can also easily create the necessary headers yourself. Send an Authorization
header with the value Basic ORG_ID:API_Key
, replacing your own values for ORG_ID and API_Key. The ORG_ID:API_Key
portion should be base64 encoded.
For example:
If your Organization ID is tm_8hHhG7gf9shhd
and your API key is 0ShG8gLReppO9Vm74PUSyesec87EhH
you would send the header in the example because tm_8hHhG7gf9shhd:0ShG8gLReppO9Vm74PUSyesec87EhH
base64 encoded is dG1fOGhIaEc3Z2Y5c2hoZDowU2hHOGdMUmVwcE85Vm03NFBVU3llc2VjODdFaEg
.
Making a request with an invalid ORG ID or API Key will result in a 403 response code.
