Spring Boot: Basic Auth Returning 401 But Works in Postman

Question

I am trying to consume a secured API using basic auth, but I keep getting back 401 error. The issue is the credentials and requested URL connect successfully when using Postman. Here is the call I am making, not sure if there is anything I am missing:

public ResponseEntity randomSht(){ String username = "APIKEY"; String password = ":PASSWORD"; HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders(); headers.setBasicAuth(username, password); // request url String url = "https://test.myshopify.com/admin/orders/2013413015622.json"; RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate(); HttpEntity request = new HttpEntity(headers); ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange( url, HttpMethod.GET, request, String.class); System.out.println(response); return response; }

maybe your password is just PASSWORD, you don't need to add the :, if this is just the devider between header name and value.
