How to Set Up Basic Auth with Postman

In this video, Ben Finkel covers how to establish authentication parameters in the Postman utility for HTTP calls. The process begins with setting up a basic authorization, and Ben will take you through each step, explaining what he’s doing as he goes. You’ll also see how to change these settings once your setup is complete.

Ben begins with the Postman interface and introduces the importance of the authorization tab, outlining and explaining several of the options. He’ll walk you through finding a URL and endpoint that Postman provides so you can test basic authorization.

As he walks through each step of the process, Ben will explain how this could be completed manually. He uses that as context to illustrate how easy Postman makes your work and how much more efficiently you can set up a basic auth.

Finally, once you’ve seen all of the aspects of setting up a basic authorization, you’ll learn how to keep the same parameters and switch to a different type of authorization.
