Authentication

The Studio API supports two different authentication methods:

HTTP Basic authentication

The credentials for this authentication method are the username and an API key as password, which the user can create and change at any time.

OAuth authentication

Note: OAuth authentication has been disabled until the security flaw in OAuth Core 1.0 has been addressed.
