Description

Current it appears that using the REST API requires you to login and get a session cookie.  This is not ideal for use cases like "redash" where it just wants to operate mainly as a stateless client.

Ideally credentials could simply be provided along with the request.

Using HTTP Basic authentication would be an OK way to achieve that.
