send post request to itunes Reporter

I am trying to send a POST request to Itunes reporter API to download a sales report: https://help.apple.com/itc/appsreporterguide/#/apd68da36164
In the queryInput, I pass in "1234" which is the vendorId.
import requests
headers = { "access_token": "123"}
json_data = {
"version": "1.0",
"mode": "Test",
"queryInput": "[p=Reporter.properties, Sales.getReport, 1234, Sales, Summary, Daily, 20230101]"
}
response = requests.post('https://reportingitc-reporter.apple.com/reportservice/sales/v1',
headers=headers, json=json_data)
#content = response.json()
print(response.content, response.status_code)
However, looks like the way I am passing parameters is incorrect because I only get this as the response:
b'' 400
I am certain that the access token is correct but not sure if i am passing it correctly.

POST request payload in python not reaching PHP server

I am trying to send a JSON payload with session request in python to a PHP server.
The session itself is established and cookies are accepted by the server but when I print out the $_POST, it returns an empty array.
It looks like the payload is not being sent with the request or maybe PHP doesn't recognize it.
Client Side - Python:
import json
import requests
url = 'https://prov.is.st.com/eventpost.php'
payload = {
'script': 'pyt.sh',
'status': 'Success'
}
s = requests.Session()
s.cookies.set('provisioning', cookie, domain='prov.is.st.com')
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
s.headers.update(headers)
response = s.post(url, data=payload, verify=False)
print(response.text)
Server Side - PHP:
<?php
print_r($_POST);
if(isset($_POST['status'])){
$status = $_POST['status'];
}
else{
$status=0;
}
if (isset($_POST['script'])) {
$script=$_POST['script'];
} else {
$script="unknown";
}
if (isset($_COOKIE['provisioning'])) {
$cookie=$_COOKIE['provisioning'];
print "OK: Message accepted: [$status][$script]\n";
}
else {
print "ERROR: NO cookie provided.\n";
}
Output
Array
(
)
OK: Message accepted: [0][unknown]

As per the documentation here: https://2.python-requests.org/en/master/user/quickstart/#more-complicated-post-requests, in order to post JSON data, you should use either of the following ways:
import json
...
response = s.post(url, data = json.dumps(payload), verify = False)
or
...
response = s.post(url, json = payload, verify = False)
Note, the json parameter is ignored if either data or files is passed.
Using the json parameter in the request will change the Content-Type in the header to application/json.

Trying to post data to firestore using requests

im trying to post JSON data to firestore using requests and it keeps returning this error.
{
"error": {
"code": 400,
"message": "Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name \"{\"data\": \"message\"}\": Cannot bind query parameter. Field '{\"data\": \"message\"}' could not be found in request message.",
"status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
"details": [
{
"#type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest",
"fieldViolations": [
{
"description": "Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name \"{\"data\": \"message\"}\": Cannot bind query parameter. Field '{\"data\": \"message\"}' could not be found in request message."
}
]
}
]
}
}
I've tried different method using different types of JSON Encoding and still returns the same error. i would appreciate if someone could look into this for me. Below is my code
def thestream(self, instance):
app = App.get_running_app()
s = requests.Session()
self.data = {u'data': u'message'}
self.headers = {"authorization": "bearer " + app.idToken}
r = s.post("https://firestore.googleapis.com/v1/projects/*******************************/databases/(default)/documents/messages/TemitayoAdefemi", params=json.dumps(self.data), headers=self.headers)
print(r.ok)
print(r.content.decode())

Try defining a Document resource in your payload:
self.data = {u'fields': {u'data': {u"stringValue": u'message'}}}
In your POST request, try passing the payload in data=self.data instead of param:
r = s.post("https://firestore.googleapis.com/v1/projects/***/databases/(default)/documents/messages/TemitayoAdefemi", data=self.data, headers=self.headers)

QPX Express API from Python

I am trying to use Google's QPX Express API from python. I keep running into a pair of issues in sending the request. At first what I tried is this:
url = "https://www.googleapis.com/qpxExpress/v1/trips/search?key=MY_KEY_HERE"
values = {"request": {"passengers": {"kind": "qpxexpress#passengerCounts", "adultCount": 1}, "slice": [{"kind": "qpxexpress#sliceInput", "origin": "RDU", "destination": location, "date": dateGo}]}}
data = json.dumps(values)
req = urllib2.Request(url, data, {'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
f = urllib2.urlopen(req)
response = f.read()
f.close()
print(response)
based upon the code from: urllib2 and json
When I run the above code I get the following error message:
TypeError: POST data should be bytes or an iterable of bytes. It cannot be of type str.
I searched for a solution and adapted my code based upon the following question: TypeError: POST data should be bytes or an iterable of bytes. It cannot be str
I changed my code to this:
url = "https://www.googleapis.com/qpxExpress/v1/trips/search?key=AIzaSyCMp2ZnKI3J91sog7a7m7-Hzcn402FyUZo"
values = {"request": {"passengers": {"kind": "qpxexpress#passengerCounts", "adultCount": 1}, "slice": [{"kind": "qpxexpress#sliceInput", "origin": "RDU", "destination": location, "date": dateGo}]}}
data = json.dumps(values)
data = data.encode("utf-8")
req = urllib2.Request(url, data, {'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
f = urllib2.urlopen(req)
response = f.read()
f.close()
print(response)
However, when I run this code I get the following error message:
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
I also tried changing utf-8 to ascii but I was unsuccessful. How can I get this working properly?

Here is a solution using the excelent requests library.
import json
import requests
api_key = "YOUR API KEY HERE"
url = "https://www.googleapis.com/qpxExpress/v1/trips/search?key=" + api_key
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
params = {
"request": {
"slice": [
{
"origin": "TXL",
"destination": "LIM",
"date": "2015-01-19"
}
],
"passengers": {
"adultCount": 1
},
"solutions": 2,
"refundable": False
}
}
response = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(params), headers=headers)
data = response.json()
print data
I am not sure why you request is not working. Maybe it is really the request parameters that were wrong. The date definitely needs to be in the future!

False needs to be in lowercase in JSON, so you need to quote it in Python, like this "refundable" : "false". Otherwise, your query looks good (obviously you'll need to update the date). By the way, it isn't good practice to include your API key in a public forum.

Adding users to custom audiences error - An unknown error has occurred

I try to add users to custom audiences with this code:
{
import requests
import json
payload = {'data': ['33f6fc8e08b0804555feeed0e0e81251bc408c7db58c7a030a8252731668afd0'],
'schema': 'EMAIL_SHA256'}
params = {'access_token': 'ACCESSTOKEN'}
response = requests.post('https://graph.facebook.com/audience_id/users',
params=params, data=json.dumps(payload))
response.json()
}
The response is:
{
{u'error': {u'code': 1,
u'message': u'An unknown error has occurred.',
u'type': u'OAuthException'}}
}
It's interesting that even the original example with curl returns the same result however the access token is valid and I can get data about audiences or create a new one with Python code.
Why I get this error?

The solution for my problem:
{
import requests
import json
payload = {'data': ['33f6fc8e08b0804555feeed0e0e81251bc408c7db58c7a030a8252731668afd0'],
'schema': 'EMAIL_SHA256'}
params = {'access_token': 'ACCESSTOKEN', 'payload': json.dumps(payload)}
response = requests.post('https://graph.facebook.com/audience_id/users',
params=params)
response.json()
}
