REST API not returning any response

Question

I'm trying to create a login session using the REST API with the /rest/auth/1/session POST method. It always returns me a 401 unauthorized while doing Basic authentication. I have also tried json method but its not returning any response.

{ "username": "myuser", "password": "mypassword" }

Please help.

Hello,

Try to use api token instead of the password:
