The Greeting service provides developers with an API for retrieving a world or personalized greeting. The documentation of this API and the registration of users is open to anyone. However the retrieval of a greeting is protected. A registered user may retrieve a world or personalized greeting. The service protects the greeting retrieval by requiring a login with Basic Authentication to retrieve a greeting.
To learn more about Basic Authentication, read RFC 7617.
