Mastering API Authentication in Playwright | Basic Auth Step-by-Step

Security is a top priority in API automation. In this tutorial, we dive into Basic Authorization and learn how to implement it effectively within your Playwright API testing framework.

Learn how to pass credentials securely to your REST API endpoints, ensuring your automated tests can access protected resources without compromise.

In this video, we cover: ✅ Understanding the Basic Auth header structure (Base64 encoding). ✅ How to configure global authorization in playwright.config.ts. ✅ Passing authentication credentials directly in request methods. ✅ A real-world REST API security example. ✅ Best practices for handling usernames and passwords securely (avoiding hardcoding).

Whether you're testing internal microservices or public APIs, mastering authentication is a must-have skill for every QA Engineer!
