I am trying to learn robot framework and I am trying to connect my https API using BASIC authentication. Can anyone help me to start with initial setup ?
Attached is the screenshot how Iam currently connecting the REST API.

An example I found on GITHUB looked promising but no idea how to use it in my case. https://github.com/jjwong/RESTinstance_starter_project/blob/master/tests/test_basic_authentication.robot enter image description here

You might need to add your username and password in headers of your request like 

Authorization    Basic username:password

Note you need to encode it with base64.

In case of Token based authentication

Authorization    Bearer ${jwt_token}

The base64 encoding is not "might", it is required by the protocol. Note you're not answering the actual question "How to pass basic authentication to API call in robotframework".
