I need a clever way to attach wire basket to under-rail drawer glide. ...Jim Thompson

I can't find a p-clip that small :-( ...Jim Thompson

Yep, We have a giant one just a few miles from here.
No space to hang, and those aren't deep enough. ...Jim Thompson

doubt a p-clip would hold it anyway, and it'll just tilt. bend a strip or round bar of metal in a U same size as the upper rim bolt it to the slide and drop the basket in
If it's truly what they call under-rail, that means the rail is beneath the basket. Mount the rails to a piece of plywood cut to fit the opening. Gives you a sliding shelf to set the basket on. Affix the basket to the shelf by whatever means you like.
If I've got it wrong, and it is really rails that are top mounted, here's some possibilities below:
Looks like the "lip" at the top of the basket is about 1/2". So route or (table saw) a 1/2" deep slot in 2 pieces of 3/4" stock, each piece the length of the "lip". The "lip" slips into the slots - the rails mount on the outside of the stock. Like this:
You may need to drill a hole down from the top of the stock through the basket lip so you can screw or dowel (finishing nail dropped, not driven, into the drilled hole). One at the front and one at the rear on each side. The above solution requires a width equal to the basket + 1/2" for the stock plus whatever the rails need.
If you have more width, you could just build a rectangle into which the basket fits nicely, mount the rails on the long legs of the rectangle and install the basket. Then slip the rails into the corresponding mechanism.
If you have no extra width, cut the stock to fit inside the basket and screw the rails to the stock from the outside. If you go that route, round over the edges of the wood so that hands inserted into the basket have no sharp corners to hit. There's no need for slots in the stock, but you do want to make sure that the "sandwich" made by the stock, basket and rail can't move once assembled.

The top wire that goes completely around the perimeter looks much more than 0.074". That is what gives the basket its strength. I envisaged two clips per side attached to the slider rail. Metal ones could be arranged as P rather than b so the sliders were slightly lower than the basket top. Maybe that wouldn't work in the northern hemisphere :-)

Interpose a wood plate, and (if you want to get fancy) carve channels in the wood so the wires fit into indentations. Then put a few screws with big washers to hold the wire down to the plate. I like flathead screws and countersink'ed holes in the washers.
This kind of basket, though, is intended to hang from its rim, and the allowable loading might improve if your rail(s) engaged at the rim rather than the underbelly.
