Basic Authentication

Introduction

This example uses the Postman API. You can consult the Postman API documentation at https://www.postman.com/postman/workspace/postman-public-workspace/documentation/.

Authentication

Select the basic authentication type, then fill in the username and password fields. This authenticator is then used in a connector that encodes the username and password in Base64.

Postman basic authentication

You can test the authentication with any request to the Postman API, for example:

GET : https://postman-echo.com/basic-auth
The result is a JSON response with a true value when the authentication is correct.
