Basic authentication

API requests must provide your username and password in the HTTP Authorization header, encoded in Base64, in your API requests per the Basic Auth specification (see link below).

curl -u user:pass http://localhost:3000/workers/2
  {
    "last_name": "Jones",
    "first_name": "Jill",
    "email": "j.jones@example.com",
    "phone": "416-555-1212",
    "id": "2",
    "city": "Toronto",
    "available": "mornings",
    "username": "demo",
    "password": "1234"
  }

NOTE: cURL comes installed by default on Mac operating systems. If you need to, install it from here.
