Token based authentication
To authenticate against MetroLeads, you need an API access token for the user and email.
You can obtain a token by sending a request to support@metroleads.com.
MetroLeads expects for the authorization to be included in all API requests to the server in a header using the Basic access authentication format like:
Authorization: Basic <base64 encoded email:access_token>More information on HTTP Basic Authentication is available here
# With shell, you can just pass the email and token with each request
curl -u john@example.com:3c11441f-284c-4f12-9c83-4d1ef160d5e1 "https://api.metroleads.com/"Issuing auth tokens
