I have curl request that is working file, which is as follows:
curl -XGET "https://xxxx.com/xxx" -u "username:password"
How I want to do it using curl package in R
I have following code,
library(curl)
clCall <- new_handle(url = 'https://xxxx.com/xxx')
handle_setopt(clCall, customrequest = "XGET")
Now I don't know how to pass username and password in this curl request

For example, if a website has protected content curl allows you to pass authentication credentials. To do so use the following syntax: curl --user "USERNAME:PASSWORD" https://www.domain.com . “USERNAME” must be replaced with your actual username in quotes.
The curl package provides bindings to the libcurl C library for R. The package supports retrieving data in-memory, downloading to disk, or streaming using the R “connection” interface. Some knowledge of curl is recommended to use this package.
You should set httpauth and userpwd options too:
h <- curl::new_handle()
curl::handle_setopt(
handle = h,
httpauth = 1,
userpwd = "user:passwd"
)
resp <- curl::curl_fetch_memory("https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd", handle = h)
jsonlite::fromJSON(rawToChar(resp$content))
#> $authenticated
#> [1] TRUE
#>
#> $user
#> [1] "user"
