HI, i want to use basic auth for a specific register_rest_route and if i install your plugin it will allow all wp json routes and its not good for me, what i need to do? if i install your plugin it is open all wp json api and i dont want it, i want only my custom json api route... for example if i install your plugin users can get any rest json api url like this: /wp-json/wp/v2/users and i dont want to give access to this url... i want to give access only to /wp-json/rgb/events by register this route (register_rest_route()), what i need to do?

I actually was able to solve this issue in my fork of the project:
https://github.com/Trifoia/Basic-Auth/blob/master/basic-auth.php#L14-L23

I check for the endpoint using the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] global variable and then abort authentication if the endpoint doesn't match one that I specifically whitelisted. This isn't guaranteed to work in every case - since some previous operation could change the value of that variable - but it works good enough for my use-case. I also added some brute force protections to further improve security
