Base64 Authentication Python

Question

I\'m following an api and I need to use a Base64 authentication of my User Id and password.

\'User ID and Password need to both be concatenated and then Base64 encoded\'

Answer 1

With python3, I have found a solution which is working for me:

import base64
userpass = username + ':' + password
encoded_u = base64.b64encode(userpass.encode()).decode()
headers = {"Authorization" : "Basic %s" % encoded_u}
