Improved Bearer Authentication Header Support on All API Routes

We've updated our API authentication to remove the unnecessary base64 (b64) encoding/decoding for Bearer tokens. Bearer tokens no longer require b64 encoding, aligning with standard practices and improving compatibility. If b64 encoding is needed, tokens will be provided with this already applied. This change ensures a smoother authentication experience, particularly for scenarios where b64 encoding is only necessary for basic authentication, not Bearer tokens.
