Basic auth on REST API the easy way ?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I know this has been discussed numerous times but I read a ton of topics here and spent hours trying to solve my problem in vain. So I humbly ask for your help here with trying to connect using basic auth to a REST API for GET requests. I've been previously using Python to do that and in fact it was really easy to implent with two lines of code as follow :

Quote

request = requests.get('https://asweetlittleapi.domain.tld/_statut', auth=(options.user, options.password), verify=False)
data = json.loads(request.text)

and then I was parsing the date, which is the easiest part of the job.

Now with autoit I just don't get it. Tried InetGet, WinHttp, without success. My API keeps telling my that I'm unauthorized. Is there a simple way to implement basic auth ?

Thanks in advance for your time on this.

Cheers,
Thomas.

OK well... it seems that a full night of sleep is worth tens of hours of search, this code works for those searching for the solution :

Quote

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
$oHTTP.Open("GET", "https://asweetlittleapi.domain.tld/_status", False)
$oHTTP.SetRequestHeader('Authorization','Basic ' & "Base64logincolonpassword") ; where Base64logincolonpassword is a Base64-encoded login:password couple
$oHTTP.Send()
$data = json_decode($oHTTP.ResponseText)

Hi Melba23,

I see. Thank you for the updates and response. 

By the way, do you have anything I can use to connect to an API where I have the following information from the other developer team I am connecting with.

1.) ClientID

2.) Payload

3.) url for the token

4.) username and password

5.) API link
