JSON password

Hello!
I'm trying to get a JSON response with:
$response = file_get_contents('http://192.168.254.177/probe_update.json');
But I only get the error:
Warning: file_get_contents(http://192.168.254.177/probe_update.json): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized in C:\wamp64\www\json\index.php on line 12

I suspect this is due to the page requires a password, but how do one send a password with a file_get_contents call?

Anyone with experience working with ServesCheck JSON page?

Thanks!

Kind regards
Petter

Not sure of your programming language but for example in PHP you would pass on the username and password as follows:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");

For javascript you could use following Jquery function
$.ajax
({
type: "GET",
url: "url.json",
dataType: 'json',
async: false,
headers: {
"Authorization": "Basic " + btoa(USERNAME + ":" + PASSWORD)
},
data: '{ "comment" }',
success: function (){
alert('Thanks for your comment!');
}
});

Thank you very much!

If someone else have the same issues, this is how I did:

url = "http://192.168.254.177/probe_update.json";
$username = 'admin';
$password = 'admin';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");

$result = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$data = json_decode($result, true);

foreach ($data["probe_update"] as $item)
{
echo "Probe".$item["probe_id"].": ";
echo $item["value"][0];
echo "
";
}

For those it helps, here's pettersundin 's script in Python:
import requests url = "http://192.168.254.177/probe_update.json" username = "admin" password = "admin" result = requests.get(url, auth=(username, password)) data = result.json() for item in data['probe_update']:     print("Probe {0}: {1}".format(item['probe_id'], item['value']))
