The Gateway API utilizes Basic HTTP Authentication by requiring the client to provide a username and password in the request header when accessing protected resources. The API then validates the credentials provided by the client using the authentication information stored on the server. Once the credentials are validated, the API grants access to the protected resources. Basic HTTP Authentication is a simple and widely used method of authentication, but it is not considered highly secure because the credentials are sent in plaintext and can be intercepted.
