Does Keycloak support basic Authentication (Authorization header that contains the word Basic word followed by a space and a base64-encoded string username:password ) and if so how I can configure realm and client settings for it ? I want to secure my rest api with Keycloak and support also basic Authentication as an option.

Configure Keycloak to authenticate your cbioportal instance. Log in to your Keycloak Identity Provider, e.g. http://localhost:8080/auth, as an admin user. ⚠️ when setting this up on something else than localhost (e.g. production), you will need to use/enable https on your Keycloak server.
In Keycloak, resource servers are provided with a rich platform for enabling fine-grained authorization for their protected resources, where authorization decisions can be made based on different access control mechanisms. Any client application can be configured to support fine-grained permissions.
Keycloak is Open Source Identity and Access Management Server, which is a OAuth2 and OpenID Connect(OIDC) protocol complaint.
Yes that's possible for clients with Access Type: confidential and Direct Access Grants Enabled. You can find more details on these settings in the documentation.
You also need to enable enable-basic-auth and supply your credentialsin your application settings. Consult the documentation for more details.
There's also an official basic-auth example online which can serve as a starting point.
