Base64 Authentication Python

Question

I\'m following an api and I need to use a Base64 authentication of my User Id and password.

\'User ID and Password need to both be concatenated and then Base64 encoded\'

Answer 1

As explained in the Requests documentation https://2.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/authentication/

Making requests with HTTP Basic Auth is very simple:

>>> from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
>>> requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=HTTPBasicAuth('user', 'pass'))

In fact, HTTP Basic Auth is so common that Requests provides a handy shorthand for using it:

>>> requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=('user', 'pass'))

Providing the credentials in a tuple like this is exactly the same as the HTTPBasicAuth example above.
