I need some assistance on examples of connecting an outside API to an Angular Application that has a username and password for authentication. I know how to connect an outside API that doesn't require authentication but I am trying to connect to an API that has a username and password as well as a proxy connection. And I am unsure how that is passed in the application? Any examples or help would be appreciated, thanks.

you need to provide more details on how the API accepts the username and password. Like query param, request headers etc., – Praveen Kumar Apr 10 '18 at 17:19

what is the API's request method GET or POST? – Deepinder Singh Apr 10 '18 at 17:37

Excuse my ignorance but I believe it will be through request headers. Also it is a GET request – Rob DePietro Apr 10 '18 at 17:48

To get better answers, you should probably include more information about this proxy and API, what you have tried, etc. – cnishina Apr 13 '18 at 17:20

The user and password are sending as headers then these headers you need put inside of Post method in the third parameter. This is an example.
let username: string = 'username';
let password: string = 'password';
let headers: Headers = new Headers();
headers.append("Authorization", "Basic " + btoa(username + ":" + password));
headers.append("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
this._http.post(url, data, {headers: headers})
