The solution was to generate and use an API token.
- in WP admin, go to user and generate the key
- take that key and glue it with the username it is generated with in this format:
username:key - base64 encode that string
- put that base64 value into the header:
'Authorization': 'Basic <base64 token here>'
In my case, the key was deleted.
