I am calling rest APIs from outside activiti from a stand alone page simply on a button click "http://admin:test@localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/runtime/process-instances " and it is giving error 401 (Unauthorized)
I found that for authorization we can include user name and password in the requested url from Activiti User Guide.
how to make authenticated rest api call please help.
Thank you,

I assume you're trying to use the REST API for the V6 community edition. It certainly does use basic authentication (Activiti/BasicAuthenticationProvider.java at 6.0-release · Activiti/Activiti · GitHub - if you're running from source code you could breakpoint or add logging at that class) so I'd expect that to work provided the admin/test user is in your database. I'd suggest checking whether it is in your database. You could also try from postman and adding the authentication header there.
