Things to know beforehand
data.smartdublin.ie is the portal that hosts the flooding datasets and its associated resources (csv files, links to API, etc). There is one public dataset as entry point for the flooding project where users can find information about the project and how to access it. There are 5 flooding datasets with the actual data, these datasets are private and only SmartDublin registered users - who belong to the flooding org - can access them.
API
The API is an alternative way to access flooding data, designed mainly for developers or 'huge data consumers'. The API is protected by an API key, this means that anybody can access the main API web page, but without the API key all queries will result in an 'unauthorized' error. To use the API key click in 'Authorize' button in the API web page header.
To sum up
data.smartdublin.ie credentials are used only to access the datasets in data.smartdublin.ie. API works only if the API key is used in the query, else resulting in unauthorized access.
