Guys - it wasn't pretty and I'm sure that the solution is more obvious to experienced people but, after three hours of tinkering and researching, I finally figured out how to successfully query the Udemy Affiliate API.Why did it take me three hours? Because of this base64 encoding requirement for the client ID and client secret. I understood the concept but didn't have the smarts to put it into a request block.So I had to understand base64 (which ended up not being necessary but good info to have) and a lot of poking around in Postman and manipulating headers.Like I said, it wasn't pretty and I'm sure that I took a few wrong turns along the way but I've conquered it.I don't know who on this subreddit needs to hear it, but stick with it - you'll eventually figure it out and don't forget to step away and clear your head. It's so easy to lose sight of your purpose when you're neck-deep in details.Stay safe everyone.
