New feature: auto basic authentication
Basic authentication is a simple API authentication scheme that works by adding a Header Key of "Authorization", and a Value of "Basic + username:password", where username:password is encoded to base 64.
I noticed a few authentication-related error messages coming through and found it's largely because Shopify's API documentation says:
Some HTTP clients support basic authentication by prepending username:password@to the hostname in the URL. For example:
GET https://{username}:{password}@{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2020-07/shop.json
So, API Connector is now one of those HTTP clients that supports this method of basic authentication :) This should help avoid authentication errors.
Of course you can still set up basic authentication the standard way, too. This article provides more information and a form to encode credentials to base 64: https://mixedanalytics.com/knowledge-base/api-connector-encode-credentials-to-base-64/
