I need to access Resilient's API with Node.js by using an API-key and API-secret generated in Resilient.

How do I define the headers when making a http request to resilient API?
I am using superagent
And have tried sending the authentication in different ways


I tested it in Postman using the Basic Authentication, but I just get timeout on the request.
So I suspect that there is something about my request headers that are not quite right.

If someone have any experience with Resilient and Node.js it would be much appreciated

Hello Andreas,

I think the problem is about auth header. You should base64 encode your credential string (apikeyid:apikeysecret).

apikey="qweqwe"
apisecret="ewqewq"
credentialstring = "qweqwe:ewqewq"
b64encoded_string = "cXdlcXdlOmV3cWV3cQ=="

So you header should be {"Authorization": "Basic cXdlcXdlOmV3cWV3cQ=="}

If you look headers on Postman, you will see same header on Postman too.

Thank you Burak,
I used the Node.js  Buffer-object to base64-encode it and it works now

let credentialString = resilientKeyID + ":" +  resilientKeySecret;
var buff = Buffer.from(credentialString);
let base64CredentialString = buff.toString('base64');
let auth = "Basic " + base64CredentialString;

let header = {"Authorization": auth}
