Authorization

When talking to the Parley API's you'll need to Authorize yourself before you can access any of the endpoints. This is a security layer which prevents unknown users to access the API.

How the Authorization works is almost the same on every API:

• You create an Authorization string with multiple parameters
• This string is then encoded using Base64 encoding
• The base64 encoded authorization string is then send, in the Authorization header, with every request to the API
