API Authentication uses different URL than Get request

I'm trying to connect my report to a Web API off of an application.

The main problem is that the URL to get data is something like this:

 

 

https://apiurl/qcbin/rest/domains/<domainname>/projects/<projectname>

 

 

But if I want to authenticate (using username and password because the API is too old for tokens), the URL is this instead:

 

 

https://apiurl/qcbin/authentication-point/api-authenticate/

 

 

 How would I go about coding that query? I've tried just about every kind of authentication I could think of with no success.

 

I might be able to use relativepath somehow but the problem is I still need to turn this into a dynamic query which will be used an invoked custom query in another table.

What kind of response is given when you authenticate? You could parse the results out and pass it to the other query.
