Explanation
API documentation is the correct resource because it contains the exact technical details a developer needs to implement a specific API correctly: authentication methods (in this case HTTP Basic Auth), supported data formats (JSON and XML), available endpoints, required headers, request/response structures, and code examples. The scenario describes very specific implementation requirements that only authoritative documentation can address definitively. A DevNet Sandbox (A) provides a test environment to try the API but does not explain how to use it. Forums (C) offer community advice but are not authoritative or structured. DevNet Code Exchange (D) provides sample code and projects but does not comprehensively document authentication schemes and data formats for a specific API.
