​How do I send a basic authorization on Apigee via header?

[joshuacarino]

So I am doing basic authorization on my Token API in apige. And this is how I do it in postman via its Authorization tab. As far as I know, Postman converts this to a header.

But if ever I want to manually add this on a header like this and use apigees default behavior, how should I format my header without changing or modifying my Token API policy?. I

It's just that I'm trying to document this API, but I don't know how Apigee interpresets my request and what are the required parameters names in the header for apigee to process my request.

You need to send the base64 encoded credentials as username: password in the Authorization header of the request. You will be able to view the same in the postman->code->curl option

Oh great. Didn't knew and notice that code thing in postman before. THanks. I could finally see how it sends the request in cUrl, thx
