What kind of account do I need to access the REST API?

I'm having issues in accessing the API, I think. I got Error 401 whenever I use my credentials that I believe has admin privileges already. Is there a way to access the API without using the "admin" ...

I'm not sure about 11.5.4, but it's definitely compatible with 12.1.2 (that's the version we use). Unless there were massive API changes between the two versions though, I would think that code would be good for both. I would be surprised if the API would work for 12+ and not 11.5+.
