Header syntax in POST request (PYTHON)

Question

I'm doing an API call in Python for the Spotify API and apparently I need to have the header parameter called "Authorization" take the following value:

" Base 64 encoded string that contains the client ID and client secret key. The field must have the format: Authorization: Basic "

Does anyone know what that means, and what the exact Python syntax for that would be?

Thanks

this is basic HTTP authrisation, most HTTP libraries will convert an authorized URLinto that automatically

https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@server/path

saving you from having to mess with headers.
