      description: >-
        SignalWire Basic Authentication using Project ID and API Token.


        The client sends HTTP requests with the Authorization header containing

        the word Basic followed by a space and a base64-encoded string of
        project_id:token.

        The project ID will be used as the username and the API token as the
        password.


        Example:

        ```

        Authorization: Basic base64(project_id:token)

        ```

```

```python

payload = { "number": "+15558675309" }
credentials = base64.b64encode(f"<project_id>:<api_token>".encode()).decode()

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Basic {credentials}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)

print(response.json())
```
