When using the api, it asks for a user name and password. What do I use?

Our api uses basic authentication to restrict access. The user name and password is the same as the user name and password for your account.

Automated Screenshots api

do you have a java example of how to invoke the Automated Screenshots api using HttpClient?
I can't seem to get by the basic authentication.
I'm getting '401 Authorization Required'.

http client example

First you need to make a CredentialsProvider

UsernamePasswordCredentials u =
new UsernamePasswordCredentials("some username", " some password");
CredentialsProvider creds =
new BasicCredentialsProvider();
creds.setCredentials(
new AuthScope("crossbrowsertesting.com", AuthScope.ANY_PORT),
u);

Next you would create your HttpClient like normal but you add the credential object you created above

DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpclient.setCredentialsProvider(creds);

Then you should be able to call execute

HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);

And that should be it. The URL that you will be requesting will look something like this:

http://crossbrowsertesting.com/api/screenshots/9999/version/9999/show

You will need to change it to match your own case.
