Authenticating on the API
Basic authentication is a simple authentication scheme built into the HTTP protocol. To use it, send your HTTP requests with an Authorization header that contains the word Basic followed by a space and a base64-encoded string username:password.
To use Basic Authentication in Postman, open your request and navigate to the Authorization tab. Select "Basic Auth" from the dropdown menu, then enter your username and password in the provided fields. Postman will automatically encode your credentials into a Base64 format and include them in the Authorization header. Once done, you can send the request to authenticate and access the API securely. For added security, consider using environment variables to manage credentials.
