In what format should the Cricket Leinster credentials be parsed, when CricClubs are sending the data over to Cricket Statz?

From the api guide, an authorization header needs to be added to the request:

Authorization: Basic [base64encoded(username:password)]

The username and password is the login to your database. It just needs to be a level 7 or 8 user.

Best to create a specific user account for it. Hope that helps
