Need pre-baked Canberra govhack credentials to use with lonely planet API gateway? Try these:

username: LZzu8Clmm1RtqEdKGBT5sA

password: bSjBwrET1S08cWEKYIvo8HPmSYffsNQ5D5G5h4E6NDI

Should work with either HTTP basic authentication or OAuth 2-legged authentication. (Note that these will probably be disabled after canberra govhack, and you'll need to set up your own account with the LP API gateway.)

you can test it out from a browser using basic HTTP auth using a tool like curl (browsers don't play nice with it at the moment unfortunately):
