How to auth requests

[byroncoetsee]

Hi

How do I authorise requests?

All my requests keep getting redirected to port 2000 (essentially unauthenticated).
I've read I can use session cookies or proxy cookies but those expire quite quickly, and then require manual copy pasta again. This makes it a pretty inefficient.

I've also tried basic auth in the network request - no luck.

For what its worth, here is my current Python code:

        url = f"{API_BASE_URL}/address/{address}?limit=100&sort=desc"
        try:
            response = requests.get(url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(API_USERNAME, API_PASSWORD))
            response.raise_for_status()
            data = response.json()
            return cls.from_json(data)
        except requests.RequestException as e:
            print(f"Error fetching address {address}: {e}")
            return None
        except ValueError as e:
            print(f"Error parsing JSON for address {address}: {e}")
            return None
