Hi All,
I am trying to use LWP ( i dont mind using something else ) to do some posts and get from a website API

But i am failing at the first step.

According to their docs you need to login with your broswer, get the cookie AUTH_TOKEN and get the and then use that output for the curl command authorization. Is there way to do this in perl ?
The curl would look like 

curl -X GET "<URL> -H "accept: application/json" -H "authorization:<to
+ken>"

[download]
and my LWP looks like 
my $cookies = HTTP::Cookies->new();
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( cookie_jar => {} );
$req -> authorization_basic ( 'cloud-bespoke' ); 
my $rc = REST::Client->new( { useragent => $ua } );
my $headers = {Content-type => 'application/json'};

my $client = REST::Client->new( { useragent => $ua });

my $res = $client->POST('URL',
'{"username": "username, "password":"password"}', {"Content-type" => '
+application/json'});

chkerr($client->responseCode());

print $client->responseContent();


print "\n" . $cookies->as_string;

Thanks a
