Steps to Set Up Basic Authentication:

1. Create an "API “API dRofus user":

   • Do not use your personal account for this.

   • Ensure the API user's email is not set to your own.

   • Generate a strong password for this user.

2. Add the user to the project:

   • Ensure that this user has sufficient access to perform the required API operations.

3. Set up authentication:

   • In Postman, select Basic Auth as the authentication type.

   • For scripts, you need to encode the username and password into base64. Here's an example of how to do this in Python:

   Code Block
   language py
   import base64 import os from dotenv import load_dotenv credentials = f"{os.getenv("DR_USERNAME")}:{os.getenv("DR_PASSWORD")}" encoded_credentials = base64.b64encode(credentials.encode()).decode() # Encoded string can then be used for Basic Authentication in your API requests: headers = {"Authorization": encoded_credentials}
