Answer 1

As explained to me in another post, you can pass the api token to the user property if you are using HttpWebRequest:

request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes($"my-secret-toggl-api-token:api_token")));

Answer 2

The easy way is adding credential into url as user:pass@ format.

https://my-secret-toggl-api-token:api_token@www.toggl.com/reports/api/v2/project/?page=...
        <---------------------------------->

Alternately you can use credential with your http header like below:

Authorization: Basic XXXXXX

Here XXXXXX is base64(my-secret-toggl-api-token:api_token)

Answer 3

Using fetch

In node environment, your request might look something like so:

const url = 'https://www.toggl.com/reports/api/v2/project/page=1&user_agent=devteam@example.com&workspace_id=1&project_id=2';
const token = 'my-secret-toggl-api-token:api_token';

fetch(url, {
  method: 'GET', // not required
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Basic ${Buffer.from(String(token)).toString('base64')}`,
  },
})
