I need to extract data to Azure data factory using an API. I have been able to extract data from this API by using Insomnia so i know that the API does work and respond. But this doesn't work in Azure data factory. When i get to the I get to the screen where i can assign the data into columns i get errors saying that my API credentials are wrong.

I have tried both anonymous and basic to verify my API but both don't work.
When i connect to insomnia is use the following auhtorization:

The authentication is as following:
Basic username:password
note that this username:password is encoded in 64.
How do i use these credentials in Azure data factory without getting this error message:
The HttpStatusCode 401 indicates failure. Request URL: <MYURL> Response payload:{"ErrorCode":"0x1006","Description":"API Authentication Failed."} Activity ID: c9cfdb5e-4d1c-4852-a9c3-94a3877ef129

    Dear @HimanshuSinha-msft

    Would you know what i am doing wrong ? Could that mistake be the reason why my Azure Data factory is not connecting ? Could you please help me out ?

    Thank you for your time.
    Kind Regards
