For reference, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Authentication#Basic_authentication_scheme
You should add one header only:
$APIUser = 'someuser'
$APIPassword = 'somepassword'
$Credentials = "${APIUser}:${APIPassword}"
$Bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($Credentials)
$EncodedCredentials = [Convert]::ToBase64String($Bytes)
$headers = @{}
$headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic ${EncodedCredentials}")
For example:
PS C:\Users\alexander.yakovlev> $APIUser = 'someuser'
PS C:\Users\alexander.yakovlev> $APIPassword = 'somepassword'
PS C:\Users\alexander.yakovlev> $Credentials = "${APIUser}:${APIPassword}"
PS C:\Users\alexander.yakovlev> $Bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($Credentials)
PS C:\Users\alexander.yakovlev> $EncodedCredentials = [Convert]::ToBase64String($Bytes)
PS C:\Users\alexander.yakovlev> $headers = @{}
PS C:\Users\alexander.yakovlev> $headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic ${EncodedCredentials}")
PS C:\Users\alexander.yakovlev> $headers
