In a GET method the server isn't expecting a "payload" (what you would specify in the IN= option on PROC HTTP), so you would place the credentials argument on the URL or...if it's Basic Auth...on the WEBUSERNAME/WEBUSERPASSWORD options.

filename resp temp; proc http url="https://httpbin.org?user=myusername&password=mypassword&token=ABC1234" method='GET' out=resp; run;

Sometimes, the API expects a token to be specified as part of the header, which you place in the HEADERS statement:

/* authtoken retrieved in previous step */ filename resp temp; proc http url="https://httpbin.org/api/2.0/search?q=&query." method="GET" out=resp ; headers "Authorization"="Bearer &authtoken."; run;

This webinar/article covers a lot of the basics.
