Hello again,

How does vMix process the username/password for accessing the API, if it is locked down?

Is it as simple as sending it via a web connection like http://127.0.0.1:8088/API/?username=admin&password=1234 ?

Or is it more complicated than that?

It uses HTTP basic authentication, which is a base64 encoded username:password string in the Authorization request header

Thanks Radian. I've found using Postman that once authenticated, you're given a token by vMix to access it, which if you implant that token in Postman/browser it will allow you access to the API.

However, once you use the same token in an App, it is rejected because of CORS.

I'll have to look into how to send User/Pass via the app to get the token. Thanks again.
