Performing HTTP Authentication

All TIBCO Scribe® API methods must be called by an authenticated user. Authentication is performed using HTTP Basic Authentication, which requires a specific Authorization parameter in the header of each HTTP request. This parameter contains a base 64-encoded version of the principal's TIBCO Scribe® email address and password, in the form:

{email}:{password}

  • If you have a Scribe Classic login, use that email and password and make sure that API access is enabled. See Enabling API Access.
  • If you have a TIBCO Cloud™ Integration account, create a password to use with the API and make sure that API access is enabled. See Setting Security Options in the TIBCO Cloud™ Integration help.

For specific details, consult the documentation for your HTTP Client library.
