Using Mailgun RestFUL's on client-side

Question

I am attempting to build an anonymous customer feedback form which forwards the content to an email address. I've been looking into Mailgun (http://documentation.mailgun.com/api-sending.html), but I am confused where I could put in my API key. I am attempting to make a POST request with jQuery, could someone point me to an example of sending an email?

Answer 1

According to the Authentication section of Mailgun's API Intro, they require Basic Auth, which is accomplished in code by adding the following HTTP header:

Authorization: Basic base64($username:$password)

For Mailgun, they mention using api as the username and your API key as the password.
