How to use REST API

Question

I build ScaleIO REST Client. I succeed  login using '/api/login'parameter,and the login returns token(key) 'xxxxx' . ↓ C# code 'HTTP Basic authentication' -- string authInfo = @'admin:password'; authInfo = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(authInfo)); request.Headers['Authorization'] = 'Basic ' + authInfo; -- but,I don't know use token(key) 'xxxxx'. For example,when I  invoke  HTTP GET request using '/api/instances/'parameter, returns authentication erorr(401) at System.Net.WebException. C# code -- reqest.Headers['-Auth-Tken'] = 'xxxxx';  // 'xxxxx' is access_token. --

For all sub-sequence API calls, you just need to pass the token without username in base64 encode to the request header. So something like this:

string authToken = @":token";
authToken = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(authToken));

(I'm not C# expert)
