HTTP API Authentication via URL

[rmchapa]

I am attempting to modify my API calls in light of the removal of basic authentication. I do not have a mechanism to utilize the digest authentication.

I was wondering it it was possible to pass my username and password as arguments to the API. i.e. can I send in the username and password like this:

http://1.2.3.4/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?username=myUsername&password=myPassword&channel=1&subtype=1

anybody?

Is there any way to authenticate instead of digest auth?

Did you find a solution for this?

I'm new to Amcrest cameras, but from everything I can tell from the API docs and the two cameras I have, no, since the latest firmware releases only Digest is supported. There's a longer discussion of this in: https://amcrest.com/forum/technical-dis ... 1-s30.html

Can I ask how you're making the API calls that doesn't support Digest authentication?
