Authentication Details

The API uses HTTP Basic Authentication with credentials stored as environment variables in Cloudflare Workers:
  • Username: ADMIN_USER (environment variable)
  • Password: ADMIN_PASS (environment variable)
To create the Authorization header:
  1. Combine username and password with a colon: username:password
  2. Encode the string in Base64
  3. Prepend “Basic ” to the encoded string
Example in bash: 
echo -n "username:password" | base64
# Output: dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=

# Use in request:
curl https://idforideas-1.jamrdev.com.ar/api/auth/verify \
  -H "Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ="
