From above link, If you are on windows, replace bolded parts with your details, open power shell, copy paste / hit enter, you get the encoded string. then you pass Basicencodedstring during auth $Text = ‘user@example.com:api_token_string’ $Bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($Text) $EncodedText = [Convert]::ToBase64String($Bytes) $EncodedText

You cant directly use the API token.

You need to base64 encode your email:API token first

See here --> LINK

Then you take that encoded string and use it to authenticate in the format Basic<space>encodedstring

I did create API Key but unable to authenticate it... with username, API Key and URI... though every input is correct.
