Username. Token labels are used to create a username for a REST client. The username has the following format: tokenLabel@instanceName@stlassian.net.
Password. The password is API token itself. For example, Y71AteRwSra1keDalEvp0Y

Authorisation for Automation rules
...
Authorisation header for web requests uses the same information but in a slightly different construct.
Below you can see an example of a constructed authorisation header:
Authorization: Basic user@stagil-test.atlassian.net:
...
API Tokens
Create API tokens in the app administration:
...
TDTJ9mu06roWwkLqUmlh45
where
user = token label stagil-test.atlassian.net = your instance URL TDTJ9mu06roWwkLqUmlh45 = token
Next, the string user@stagil-test.atlassian.net:TDTJ9mu06roWwkLqUmlh45 should be encoded via Base64.
The last step is to fill out the header with an encoded string as shown in the example to the right.
