{"Authorization: Basic Base64_ENCODED_WORKSPACEID_APIKEY=="}

The username and password details can be obtained from the MoEngage Dashboard. If you're using the API for the first time, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Settings -> Account -> APIs.
2. Copy the following details:
   • Username: Under Workspace ID (earlier app id), click the copy icon to copy the username.
