Hello Harsh, Thank you for your response, sorry for my post which is not clear. What I need is to handle API calls from other systems, and handle it in Salesforce. I was able to make the apex class public and accept calls which works now but I wanted to just add some simple authentication. I wanted to get the auth header and compare it to my metadata types data before I process the JSON body. 

My issue is I cant get the authorization basic using this code: 
RestRequest req = RestContext.request;
        if (req.headers.get('Authorization') == null)
        {
            // always goes here
            authorizationHeaderValue = 'Null';
        }


but using https://webhook.site/, header auth is being passed and working as expected.
