Authorization

You can authenticate by passing your username and authorization key when creating the SmartbearTunnel:

tunnel = SmartbearTunnel(username='myusername', authkey='myauthkey')

You can also use the environment variables:

from bash...
export SMARTBEAR_USERNAME=myusername
export SMARTBEAR_AUTHKEY=myauthkey
python test.py

from test.py...
tunnel = SmartbearTunnel()

This package currently only works for CrossBrowserTesting but will work for Bitbar in the future.
