The Basic Auth Testing API enables users to validate data retrieval using
Basic Authentication. This API demonstrates how legacy systems that require
a username and password can be integrated with eZintegrations.
This API is intended for testing and validation purposes when configuring
Basic Authentication based source systems in eZintegrations.
Overview
The Basic Auth Testing API is a sample endpoint provided by eZintegrations to demonstrate
secure data access using Basic Authentication, which is commonly required by legacy or
internally hosted APIs.
When to Use This API
This API is typically used when configuring Basic Authentication based integrations in
eZintegrations to:
- Validate username and password–based authentication
- Test connectivity with legacy or internal APIs
- Integrate with systems that do not support OAuth-based authentication
- Troubleshoot authentication or data retrieval issues before production deployment
API Details
Method
GET
Endpoint
{{base_url}}/partner/orderdetails-basicauth
This endpoint returns sample order details secured using Basic Authentication.
Authentication
Authentication Type
Basic Authentication
The Basic Auth Testing API requires a valid username and password for authentication.
No client ID or client secret is required.
Credentials
Username: {{client_id}}
Password: {{client_secret}}
To acquire the Base URL and create your own Client ID and Secret, please refer to the My Profile section within your Bizdata account.
How to Retrieve Data Using Basic Authentication in eZintegrations
- Retrieve the Base URL from the My Profile section in your eZintegrations account.
- Configure the Basic Auth Testing API as a source system within eZintegrations.
- Provide the username and password during source configuration.
- eZintegrations automatically applies Basic Authentication to each API request.
- Execute the integration to retrieve data, with authentication handled internally by eZintegrations.
This approach allows users to integrate with Basic Authentication based APIs without manually
constructing authorization headers.
Troubleshooting and Usage Scenarios
- If authentication fails, verify the username and password used during configuration
- If no records are returned, validate endpoint availability and response format
- If connectivity issues occur, confirm the Base URL from the My Profile section
