I’m having trouble with basic authentication using the nlapiRequestURLWithCredentials function. I’m not exactly sure if I should be using nlobjCredentialBuilder or not, I’ve seen it documented both with and without and tried both with no luck. Has anyone been able to connect to an API using basic authentication?

Code:
var url = ‘https://m.g.com/’;
var uname = ‘username’;
var pwd = ”;
var creds = [uname, pwd];
var headers = [‘content-type’, ‘application/json’];
var response = nlapiRequestURLWithCredentials(creds, url, null, headers, ‘GET’);

Hi Jason,

Here’s a quick workaround on this concern. If you check https://www.httpwatch.com/httpgallery/authentication/, Basic Authentication would be base64(unameassword). You can just have nlapiRequestURL() and add an Authorization header with Basic authentication as the Authentication type. Please let me know if that works for your end.
