Authentication
Token based API authentication are supported for the time being. Token is used in the Authorization header for App/Device backends where HTTP headers can be specified. Otherwise token can be used with URL query parameters. However, latter method is not encouraged unless your app is frontend only i.e. static webapp.
All request must be submitted using HTTPS to avoid compromising your token.
Authorization
If your App/Device has a separate backend, it is highly recommended to whitelist your Domain or IP address of your servers.
Auth header
When using HTTP REST API without the SDK, for HTTP Basic authentication you need to use username and password separated by a single colon (":") character within a base64 encoded string in the credentials. Here you must leave the username blank and specify the token as password field of the HTTP Basic Auth header.
In plain HTTP, that is
Authorization: Basic Base64 encoded :YOUR_TOKEN
