The string following Authorization: Basic is simply base64-encoded “applicationId:secret”. Substitute your AppID and Secret, separated by a colon and then base64-encoded, in your headers when using the Phenix APIs..

base64 encoding is a reversible encoding. Always use HTTPS along with Basic Authentication. |
To create an authorization string using your own applicationId and secret
Concatenate your applicationId with a colon and your secret
Base64 encode the resulting string
For example, if your applicationId is examplecompany.com and your secret is Not.a.real.secret007gaH.E-f)z4+9, the concatenated string would be
examplecompany.com:Not.a.real.secret007gaH.E-f)z4+9
And the base64-encoded string would be:
ZXhhbXBsZWNvbXBhbnkuY29tOk5vdC5hLnJlYWwuc2VjcmV0MDA3Z2FILkUtZil6NCs5
When using Phenix APIs, your headers would include:
Authorization: Basic ZXhhbXBsZWNvbXBhbnkuY29tOk5vdC5hLnJlYWwuc2VjcmV0MDA3Z2FILkUtZil6NCs5
