Clanforge supports basic HTTP authentication and AWS authentication. Both authentication methods rely on your account credentials. Your credentials include your Access key and Secret key. Visit the Auth Keys page on Clanforge to access and manage your credentials.

Basic authentication

The Clanforge API supports basic HTTP authentication. You can authenticate with Clanforge by passing a base64-encoded string of your Clanforge authentication keys (that's, the access key and the secret key) through the Authorization Header of HTTP requests.
Note: Make sure you set the content the request to 
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
. 
Authorization: Basic {base64_encode(AccessKey:SecretKey)}
The Clanforge API supports basic HTTP authentication over HTTPS and authentication with AWS Signature Version 4. Sending any requests over an unsecured HTTP connection results in a redirect to HTTPS.

AWS Signature Version 4 authentication

Deprecated: There are no plans to remove AWS4 authentication. However you should use Basic Authorization due to implementation complexity.
