title: How to test REST API using Chrome's extension "Advanced Rest Client"
body: <p>Following the instructions at the link below, I successfully built a REST API for my Django application: <a href="http://django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/quickstart" rel="noreferrer">http://django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/quickstart</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I can test it by doing the following from the Unix prompt:</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl -H 'Accept: application/json; indent=4' -u root:myPassword http://www.myWebsite.com/users/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works :)</p>
  
  <p>However, I would like to use the Chrome extension Advanced Rest Client to test this same functionality.
  I have installed the extension, but I don't know where/how to put the fields. When I make my educated-guess (as you can see in the screenshot), it rejects it saying "Authentication credentials were not provided"</p>

  <p>How/where should I specify my parameters to the REST API?</p>
