-At the moment only Basic Authentication is supported. If you need OAuth2 please contact us at [[mailto:protogrid-support@protogrid.com|protogrid-support@protogrid.com]]. All http requests require an authentication. If the authentication fails, an error will be returned. The error describes whether a HTTP Header field is missing or the login data is incorrect.+All HTTP requests to the Protogrid JSON API require a valid authentication. If the authentication fails, an HTTP error 403 will be returned. Currently, the following variants are available for authentication: 
 +  * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication|HTTP Basic authentication (BA)]]. 
 +  * Header Authentication using the HTTP headers 'username' and 'password'. 
 +  * Cookie Authentication using the session cookie returned after a successfull authentication with one of the upper two variants.
  
 +Note: Both the email address (e.g. "user@example.com") and the user ID (e.g. "1957f847-f298-4f14-a031-7ffbe31aeb47") can be used for " username".
