$user = "User"
$password = "S3cr3t"
$pair = "$($user):$($password)"
$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))
$basicAuthValue = "Basic $encodedCreds"
$Headers = @{
Authorization = $basicAuthValue
}
$Uri = "https://example.com/path"
Invoke-RestMethod -UseBasicParsing -Headers $headers -Method GET -Uri $Uri
