I am new to Spring. A project of mine needs to call an Autotask API which takes Api integration code, username and secret (password) in the headers. How do I integrate that into the Rest Template?

Below is a screenshot of the API that I am testing on swagger. Screenshot of API Call using Swagger

The additional parameters you need to send are all headers. You can set the headers as follows:

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set("ApiIntegrationCode", "HUCXSL...");
headers.set("UserName", "fdfsk...");
headers.set("Secret", "yR*42...");

Then you add the headers to a new HttpEntity instance and perform the request using RestTemplate:

HttpEntity entity = new HttpEntity(headers);

ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, entity, String.class);

A very similar question has been asked here: HTTP get with headers using RestTemplate.
