Reference guide

Explanation and worked examples

Basic encodes username:password with Base64; it does not encrypt the credentials. Use HTTPS and test placeholders.

Use in day-to-day IT work

Prepare an integration example or investigate a request, response or event contract.

Checks before applying the result

  • Use a test endpoint and synthetic credentials when trying generated requests.
  • Check the service documentation for authentication, supported fields, pagination, timeouts and repeat-request behaviour.
