How to supply authentication with Python for Confluence Cloud API

Vincent Stevenson

How do I include my apikey and username when I am using Confluence API? 

Here's my code: 

import requests
import json

url = "https://example.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/audit"

headers = {
"Accept": "application/json"
}

response = requests.request(
"GET",
   url,
   headers=headers
)

print(json.dumps(json.loads(response.text), sort_keys=True, indent=4, separators=(",", ": ")))

Where would I add the authentication?

Thanks!
