Proc Https get method (pass token, username & password)

How to pass token, username & password in proc https GET method?

For post method, i am able to pass token, username & password and getting desired output. But for get method, it is giving error.

Can anyone share me syntax for passing token, username & password in proc https GET method ?

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.
