Fetch from content server API when require login is on

[duydl]

I want to ask about the authenticate header format for fetching from the ajax api of calibre content server or if it is available.

HTTP Basic or HTTP Digest

[duydl]

Before I posted the thread I had tried HTTP basic but it did not work.

const base64Credentials = btoa(username + ':' + password);
fetch(fetch_link, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + base64Credentials,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
})
.then(response =>

I will test it again then.
Thank you for the reply.

The entire content server, including its API uses HTTP Auth in either basic or digest mode. There is no other form of authentication.

You tried basic the server might be using digest (there are options in the server preferences to control this)

See for example:

curl --digest --user username:password http://localhost:8080/ajax/library-info                                                      

{"library_map": {"test_library": "test library", "library": "library", "erolib": "erolib", "demo_library": "demo library", "largelib": "largelib"}, "default_library": "test_library"}
