hi Michael!

 

My only assumption is that either the login proedure fails or the login name that you use in $APIUser is not suitable for your calls.

Can you describe what you are trying to implement overall?

We can't do much in terms of helping you program entire thing, this should involve professional services, but if I can help, I will!

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

Name                           Value
----                           -----
Authorization                  Basic cwBvAG0AZQB1AHMAZQByADoAcwBvAG0AZQBwAGEAcwBzAHcAbwByAGQA
