Hi @keerthana 

 

REST APIs use three credential types:

  • API Key: A unique code provided by the REST API to identify the calling application or user.
  • Basic Authentication: A user name and password combination used to authenticate to the REST API.
  • OAuth 2.0: An authentication provider provides a secret and uses that information to grant access to a resource. OAuth is beyond the scope of this training module.
