title: Rcurl : Calling to API
body: <p>After lurking still unable to find a good answer to this...</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to pull data from this API here: </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://code.flashtalking.net/" rel="nofollow">http://code.flashtalking.net/</a></p>
  
  <p>The setup from what I understand is :</p>
  
  <pre><code>URL : https://request.flashtalking.net/authenticate/mytoken
  Authorization : Username Password
  GET
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In Rcurl I have :</p>
  
  <pre><code>getURL(https://request.flashtalking.net/authenticate/mytoken ,
  userpwd = "blah@email.com:Password" 
  , .opts = list(ssl.verifypeer = FALSE) ,  verbose = TRUE )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I getting 403 Error of being Forbidden.</p>
  
  <p>Is my syntax here correct or should I be calling this differently?</p>
