Request with URL that includes credentials

Question

I\'m trying to fetch a curl and get a JSON from an API.

curl -XPOST -d \"grant_type=password\" -d \"username=admin@admin.admin\" \\
    -d \"password=admin\

You can't use the https://user:pass@host.com form, you need to set the Authorization http Header:

var headers = new Headers();

headers.append('Authorization', 'Basic ' + btoa(username + ':' + password));
fetch('https://host.com', {headers: headers})

Where btoa encodes 'user:pass' to base64 encoded string. You can find btoa function availability on MDN (in short: it works on IE 10 and above).
