Authenticate to the Tracking API by sending your project's **Write Key** along with a request.
Authentication uses HTTP Basic Auth, which involves a `username:password` that is base64 encoded and prepended with the string `Basic`.

In practice that means taking a Segment source **Write Key**,`'abc123'`, as the username, adding a colon, and then the password field is left empty.
