I wouldn't consider basic auth to be "secured". If you google "asp.net webapi basic authentication" you'll find various articles with code samples. As well as supporting it at the server-end, your client needs to add the Authorization header described below;

You need to give the username and password of an account that exists on the server that has the required access to the site. Any valid account should do.
