Problems with JSON API Connection

[Anonymous]

So I have a service that has API functionality but the authentication requires more than my basic knowledge of this. The API support is no help so I am stuck figuring this out myself.

Auth Request URL:

https://{API Key}:{Password}@api.xxxx.com/{API Endpoint}

Some details:

APIKey = "1234567" Password = "abcdefghijklmon"

Should be specified: 

Content-Typeheaderapplication/json; charset=utf-8 and an

Acceptheaderapplication/json.

I have tried 

= Web.Contents("https://api.xxxx.com/api/" & "{API Endpoint}", [Headers=[ContentType="application/json; charset=utf-8", Accept="application/json", #"API Key"="1234567", #"Password"="abcdefghijklmon"]])

and 

= Web.Contents("https://1234567:abcdefghijklmon@api.xxxx.com/api/" & "{API Endpoint}", [Headers=[ContentType="application/json; charset=utf-8", Accept="application/json"]])

But they both did not work.

Hi @Anonymous 

If you are not familiar with the code, you could use UI to connect to.

There are some references.

If you have any problem, please let me know.
