There are two currently supported authentication modes: 'Local Database' and 'API Token'. To for 'Local Database', use the `username` and `password` fields with the credentials of a pfSense admin user. For 'API Token', utilize the `headers` parameter as shown below. When generating a new key, the client_token will be shown once at the top of the page in an alert box and the client_id will be at the bottom of the page. Do not use both `headers` and `username`/`password`.
