How to Run this API Request Using Python

I am very new to python and API Integration. Can anyone pls tell me how do I run this okta document using python?
curl -v -X GET
-H "Accept: application/json"
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Authorization: SSWS ${api_token}"
"https://${yourOktaDomain}/api/v1/apps"

You can use urllib for do it.
Example:
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
api_token = "..."
yourOktaDomain = "..."
headers = {
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Autorization": "SSWS " + api_token
}
request = Request("https://" + yourOktaDomain + "/api/v1/apps", headers=headers)
response = urlopen(request)
data = response.read()

import requests
import json
yourOktaDomain = 'something.okta.com'
api_token= ''
payload = ""
headers = {
'Accept': "application/json",
'Content-Type': "application/json",
'Authorization': "SSWS "+api_token
}
response1=requests.request("GET", 'https://'+{yourOktaDomain}+'/api/v1/apps', data=payload, headers=headers)
response1.json()

Python: conversion from requests library to urllib3

I need to convert the following CURL command into an http request in Python:
curl -X POST https://some/url
-H 'api-key: {api_key}'
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
-H 'Accept: application/json'
-d '{ "data": { "dirname": "{dirname}", "basename": "{filename}", "contentType": "application/octet-stream" } }'
I initially successfully implemented the request using Python's requests library.
import requests
url = 'https://some/url'
api_key = ...
dirname = ...
filename = ...
headers = {
'api-key': f'{api_key}',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json',
}
payload = json.dumps({
'data': {
'dirname': f'{dirname}',
'basename': f'{filename}',
'contentType': 'application/octet-stream'
}
})
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload)
The customer later asked not to use pip to install the requests library. For this I am trying to use the urllib3 library as follows:
import urllib3
url = 'https://some/url'
api_key = ...
dirname = ...
filename = ...
headers = {
'api-key': f'{api_key}',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json',
}
payload = json.dumps({
'data': {
'dirname': f'{dirname}',
'basename': f'{filename}',
'contentType': 'application/octet-stream'
}
})
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
response = http.request('POST', url, headers=headers, body=payload)
The problem is that now the request returns me an error 400 and I don't understand why.

Try calling .encode('utf-8') on payload before passing as a parameter.
Alternatively, try to pass payload as fields without manually converting it to JSON:
payload = {
'data': {
'dirname': f'{dirname}',
'basename': f'{filename}',
'contentType': 'application/octet-stream'
}
}
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
response = http.request('POST', url, headers=headers, fields=payload)

Convert from curl python Request Error error 401

Im having trouble converting the curl request into a python code request.
Working Curl request
curl -X POST "http://xxxxxx" -H "accept: application/json" -H
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Authorization:
Token 882a6ec053ff6dbac623eff400f67c0bb6ade399" -d "name=namename"
Not working python request
headers = {
'Authorization ': 'Token ' + "token",
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}
data= {'name': "name"}
r = requests.post(
host_scheme + "://" + host_netloc + "/xxxxx",
data=json.dumps(data),
headers=headers
)
The response of the error is it cannot read the token {"detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."} when using the python code above.
Any suggestions?

requests.post("http://xxxxxx",
data='name=namename',
headers={
"Authorization": "Token 882a6ec053ff6dbac623eff400f67c0bb6ade399",
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"accept": "application/json"
},
cookies={},
)
I used Uncurl. I had to remove the -X POST.

How to verify outgoing HTTP request from python's module?

I need to write Python equivalent code for below mentioned working curl(I have replaced the credentials for obvious reason, but it gives back 200 status.).
curl -X POST \
'https://api.lever.co/v1/candidates?dedupe=true&perform_as=user_123' \
-H 'Authorization: Basic token_123' \
-H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
-H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
-H 'Postman-Token: 58cafa90-7ae4-47db-a144-4e9d430ffc94' \
-H 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW' \
-F 'files[]=#/Users/gaurav/lever_resume.pdf' \
-F 'emails[]=a#b.com'
So, I ended up in writing this snippet.
user_email = 'user#domain.com'
admin_id = '20f3975a-543f-4ca8-b215-2f851232a0ad'
client_id = '893728937298'
client_secret = '32032'
file_path = '/Users/ttn/Desktop/a.txt'
file_name = 'a.txt'
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
url = "https://api.lever.co/v1/candidates"
files = {
'files[]': (file_name, open(file_path,'rb')),
}
auth = HTTPBasicAuth(client_id, client_secret)
querystring = {
"perform_as": admin_id,
"dedupe": 'true'
}
payload = {
'emails[]': user_email
}
headers = {
'Content-Type': "multipart/form-data",
"Cache-Control": "no-cache",
"content-type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW"
}
response = requests.post(url,
headers=headers,
params=querystring,
data=payload,
auth=auth,
files=files)
req = response.request
# print(curlify.to_curl(req))
print('\n==== Headers', req.headers)
print('\n==== Body', req.body)
print('\n==== form-data', str(req))
print(response.text)
Question
Since Python version of Curl is not working(giving 502 error instead of 200), so How can I compare the two? Can I generate the Curl out of Python's request`?
Can someone spot mistake in my Python version? I am suspecting some problem at form-data being passed (to collect evidence, I need answer to above question)
Edit
There seems to be a curlify package. But It looks like it does not support distinction between -d and -F parameters.

Try this:
import requests
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Basic token_123',
'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
'Postman-Token': '58cafa90-7ae4-47db-a144-4e9d430ffc94',
'content-type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW',
}
params = (
('dedupe', 'true'),
('perform_as', 'user_123'),
)
files = {
'files[]': ('/Users/gaurav/lever_resume.pdf', open('/Users/gaurav/lever_resume.pdf', 'rb')),
'emails[]': (None, 'a#b.com'),
}
response = requests.post('https://api.lever.co/v1/candidates', headers=headers, params=params, files=files)
#NB. Original query string below. It seems impossible to parse and
#reproduce query strings 100% accurately so the one below is given
#in case the reproduced version is not "correct".
# response = requests.post('https://api.lever.co/v1/candidates?dedupe=true&perform_as=user_123', headers=headers, files=files)oduced version is not "correct".
# response = requests.post('https://api.lever.co/v1/candidates?dedupe=true&perform_as=user_123', headers=headers, files=files)

How to format a python" requests" that has a parameter

I am writing a python script to using an API to pull down JSON data using requests.
A cleaned up snippet from the CURL that works is (with altered key and URL):
curl -G -H 'key: wwwxxxx' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-urlencode 'from=2017-01-01 12:00:00' https://sampleurl/target1
How do I handle the "--data-urlencode 'from=2017-01-01 12:00:00'" ?
I think the code would be:
import requests
headers = {
'key': 'wwwxxxx',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}
url = 'https://sampleurl/target1'
data = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
Thanks in advance for any help!
UPDATE
I tried the DATA suggested by zwer, but that threw a 404 error.
They i just tried to add the parameter as a header pair and it worked!!!
So the code that works is:
import requests
headers = {
'key': 'wwwxxxx',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'from' : '2017-01-01 12:00:00'
}
url = 'https://sampleurl/target1'
data = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

Just use the data parameter:
import requests
headers = {
'key': 'wwwxxxx',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}
url = 'https://sampleurl/target1'
data = requests.get(url, headers=headers, data={"from": "2017-01-01 12:00:00"})
