    HTTP Basic authentication. The username is your TestRail email address; the
    password is either your account password or an API key generated under My
    Settings. Sent as `Authorization: Basic base64(email:api_key)`, for example
    `curl -u "user@example.com:APIkey"`. All requests and responses are JSON
    (`Content-Type: application/json`). The API must be enabled by an
    administrator under Administration > Site Settings > API ("Enable API").
    API keys can be revoked at any time under My Settings.
