Exchange authorization code for refresh and access tokens - google - python

Context
I'm migrating to Google's new auth solution that doesn't require 3rd party cookies using the following guide:
My app is a frontend built in Vue.js and a backend in Python (Flask).
Problem
Once I receive the Authorization token from Google (looks something like 4/0AdQt...bg), I'm unable to exchange it for a refresh & access token.
For Python, the official Google documentation only shows an example that uses Flask (using the Flow object) to request the token and verify it.
I've tried to build a simple POST request with postman
import requests
url = "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token"
payload='code=4%2F...bg&client_id=92...cac42tg.apps.googleusercontent.com&client_secret=hw...u8D&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fco...pp&grant_type=authorization_code'
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)
But I get the following unhelpful 400 Bad Request response
{
"error": "invalid_grant",
"error_description": "Bad Request"
}
I tried to change the different form parameters and got different errors (The OAuth client was not found., Unauthorized, invalid_request, ...) so most likely the error is in the actual code.
If anyone has faced a similar issue, I'd love some help!

Thoughtspot: API calls to fetch metadata via Python

I'm trying to fetch metadata from thoughtspot. I am able to call the url using browser and fetch the data. But here I'm trying to achieve it via python program. According to thougthspot documentation. I have to enable trusted authentication and pass my secret key & username to obtain a token which I can use in my program.
https://developers.thoughtspot.com/docs/?pageid=api-auth-session
my username : username#username.com
secret key : secret-key
Below is my code:(generated by postman)
import requests
url = "https://<ThoughtSpot-host>/callosum/v1/tspublic/v1/session/auth/token?auth_token=secret-key&access_level=FULL&username=username#username.com"
payload={}
headers = {}
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)
I'm getting Bad request error. Anyone here using thoughtspot over this issue. Appreciate your support very much.
Error I'm getting:
{"type":"Bad Request","description":"The server could not understand the request due to invalid syntax."}
I can fetch data by calling the api using a web-browser. Below url returns list of all meta-data objects. I want to achieve this using a python program (I have to authenticate first & call the below URL - Authentication step is not working for me when I tried to follow the documentation)
https://<ThoughtSpot-host>/callosum/v1/tspublic/v1/metadata/list

Did you try changing the url so that it includes the domain name?
Also post the error you are getting. And a screenshot of a working request would be great!

Python - Spotify API returning Error 400 "Malformed JSON"

Heyo. I'm trying to make a small application in my spare time that uses the Spotify API . I have managed to get my program to use oAuth 2 to let a user authorize my app to manipulate their Spotify, but I have run into a problem with a certain endpoint on the Spotify API.
The endpoint I am having trouble with is https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/play (here's a link to their docs for the endpoint https://developer.spotify.com/console/put-play/). Whenever I try to make a put request to the endpoint I receive a 400 status code with the message "Malformed json" I get this message even when I copy/paste their own json from the docs, so I don't think it's a problem with how I am formatting my json, besides I have used json before to call other endpoints and they haven't had a problem with my formatting on those calls.
Here is my code:
headers = {"Authorization":"Bearer {}".format(access_token)}
url = 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/play'
payload = {"context_uri": "spotify:album:5ht7ItJgpBH7W6vJ5BqpPr"}
r = requests.put(url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(r)
print(r.text)
To clarify, access_token is the access token that I have gotten from their authorization process, and I am using python-requests to make the http requests (Here is the docs for that: https://requests.kennethreitz.org/en/master/)
I am wondering if the problem is due to the fact that Spotify uses colons int their track IDs and colons are also used in JSON? I saw in another thread on here that I should try to add "Content-Type":"application/json" to my headers but that didn't change the outcome at all.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and if you need any more info please let me know. Thank you!

If your payload is a dict use json kwargs in requests lib. data works for string payload. Here you go:
r = requests.put(url, headers=headers, json=payload)

How to correctly use PowerBI's REST API?

I have been working on using the powerbi REST API and I haven't been able to properly make use of it. I made use of this and I was able to register an app and get as far as getting an access token, but still I get 401 statuses on my requests.
My major points of confusion are with regards to the app registration:
1) I am trying to read and write data from a python script. Is this a Native-App or a Web Side Server?
2) What is the meaning of the redirect and home urls on the app registration page? I am currently using my localhost:5000 with different /paths. Could this be the source of the issue?
3) My research indicates that there should be some sort of login interaction. I don't have one, is this an indication that something isn't being done properly?
My code is as follows:
import adal
import requests
AUTHORITY_URL = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/{my_company}.onmicrosoft.com'
RESOURCE = 'https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api'
CLIENT_ID = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
CLIENT_SECRET = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
def make_headers(access_token):
return {
'Authorization': "Bearer {}".format(access_token)
}
context = adal.AuthenticationContext(AUTHORITY_URL)
token = context.acquire_token_with_client_credentials(RESOURCE, CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET)
access_token = token['accessToken']
headers = make_headers(access_token)
url = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets"
resp = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
As I said above this works to give me an access token though a get a status 401 response on the request and there is no sign in prompt.
Any help/guidance would be tremendously appreciated.

1) In your case you should register a Native app.
2) Native apps has only Redirect URI. Redirect URI gives AAD more details about the specific application it authenticates. For Native apps you should set it to https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf.
3) It's hard to say why you are getting Unauthorized response. Check what rights you gave to your application - does it has rights to read or write all datasets? Try to decode the access token at https://jwt.io and look at scp - does it contain "Dataset.Read.All" or "Dataset.ReadWrite.All"?

403 (Forbidden) error when using Fortnite Tracker api with urllib.request

I am attempting to get user statistics from the Fortnite tracker api.
I have an api key and am using the correct url as indicated in the documentation
Template url:
https://api.fortnitetracker.com/v1/profile/{platform}/{epic-nickname}
Desired url:
https://api.fortnitetracker.com/v1/profile/pc/xantium0
If I use this link in browser I get {"message":"No API key found in request"} (as I have not passed the API key) so the link should be correct. Also if I do not pass the api key with urllib then I still get a 403 error.
I have checked out how to pass a header in a request: How do I set headers using python's urllib?
and so far have this code:
import urllib.request as ur
request = ur.Request('https://api.fortnitetracker.com/v1/profile/pc/xantium0', headers={'TRN-Api-Key' : 'xxx'})
response = ur.urlopen(request)
print(response.read())
When run I get this error:
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
403 checks out as:
HTTP 403 is a standard HTTP status code communicated to clients by an HTTP server to indicate that the server understood the request, but will not fulfill it. There are a number of sub-status error codes that provide a more specific reason for responding with the 403 status code.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_403
The response is the same if I don't pass the api key in the header.
I can only think of three reasons this code is not working:
I have passed the wrong header name (i.e. it's not TRN-Api-Key)
My code is incorrect and I am not actually passing a header to the server
I have been banned
My problem is that I think my code is correct:
From the documentation:
urllib.request.Request(url, data=None, headers={}, origin_req_host=None, unverifiable=False, method=None)
I have passed the url and I have passed the headers (wihout confusing with the data arguement). The api documentation also mentions it should be passed in the headers.
I am also quite sure I need to use the TRN-Api-Key as it is shown in the api documentation:
TRN-Api-Key: xxx
Also in this question (using Ruby):
header = {
key: "TRN-Api-Key: Somelong-api-key-here"
}
Or I have been banned (this is possible although I got the key 15 minutes ago) is there a way to check? Would this error be returned?
What is preventing me from getting the user statistics?

Try using requests, a pythonic, fast and widely used module.
import requests
url = 'https://api.fortnitetracker.com/v1/profile/pc/xantium0'
headers = {
'TRN-Api-Key' : 'xxx'
}
response = requests(url, headers=headers)
print('Requests was successful:', response.ok)
print(response.text)
If it doesn't work you can visit the url with your browser, then check the requests:
in Firefox press Cntrl+Shift+E, in Chrome Cntrl+E (or Inspect with Cntrl+Shift+I and then go to Network). Press on "https://api.fortnitetracker.com/v1/profile/pc/xantium0" and change the headers. On Firefox there's the button Modify and resend. Check the response and eventually, try to change the header api key name.
Hope this helps, let me know.
