SwordApi Authentications fails and get_service_document throws error

[jmurugan-fzj]

Steps to reproduce:

• Install latest version of pydataverse

• Create an instance of SwordApi and try to get the service document

  api = SwordApi("https://demo.dataverse.org/", api_token="give_a_valid_token")
  test1 = api.get_service_document()

• API fails with the below given error

Additional info:

• get_request method within ../pyDataverse/api.py sets api_token in params["key"] which is the reason for the error, see the snippet below from the code base

      params = {}
      params["User-Agent"] = "pydataverse"
      if self.api_token:
          params["key"] = str(self.api_token)
  
      try:
          resp = get(url, params=params)

• Instead this should be replaced with basic authentication as given below

      params = {}
      params["User-Agent"] = "pydataverse"
      basic = None
      if self.api_token:
          basic = HTTPBasicAuth(self.api_token, '')
  
      try:
          resp = get(url, params=params, auth=basic)

@jmurugan-fzj hi! Thanks for your interest in contributing! I'm confused, though. You could create a fork and make your pull request from there, right? Maybe I'm missing something. 🤔

@pdurbin Thanks for the quick response, I have done as suggested and created a PR too: fix(sword-api): get_service_document throws error due to auth-failure, Please take a look and let me know; I am not sure if I can assign any reviewers or change any properties of the PR, just kept it as such!
