login into Spotify through python requests module

I've been trying to connect my Spotify account using the requests module and I came across a problem
later on I tried to manipulate it on my Python code
import requests
URL = 'https://accounts.spotify.com/login/password'
payload = {
"username": "example#gmail.com",
"password": "123456",
"remember" : True
}
response = requests.post(URL , json=payload)
print(response.status_code)
OUTPUT : 415
what went wrong ?

I don't think this is how you should interact with Spotify from code.
It has an API and you should use tokens for authentication or anything else from password.
Anyway you can try setting the correct media type when making the request:
URL = 'https://accounts.spotify.com/login/password'
payload = {
"username": "example#gmail.com",
"password": "123456",
"remember" : True
}
headers = { 'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }
response = requests.post(URL , json=payload, headers=headers)

you cannot use this url to send post request as it has "recaptchaToken" which you need pass in your payload which is getting generated dynamically. Hence it is not a good idea to use this approach.
Instead you can use API to achieve the same.

How to send json POST request using requests if the website uses jwt?

i am trying to send POST request to login to this URL
, i first checked the network tab and found out the the post request is being sent to this
url : https://api-my.te.eg/api/user/login?channelId=WEB_APP
and the request payload is:
{
"header":{
"timstamp":0,
"customerId":null,
"msisdn":null,
"messageCode":null,
"responseCode":"1200",
"responseMessage":"Your Session has been expired, please sign in to continue",
"locale":null,
"referenceId":null,
"channelId":null,
"responeAdditionalParameters":null
},
"body":null
}
Here is the code :
import requests
import calendar
import time
#Here i tried to send a generated timestamp, idk if this is needed or not
ts = calendar.timegm(time.gmtime())
loginUrl = 'https://api-my.te.eg/api/user/login?channelId=WEB_APP'
values = {
"msisdn": MobileNumberID,
"timestamp": str(ts),
"locale": "Ar"
}
data = {
"password": PasswordID
}
url = requests.post(loginUrl , data=data , headers=values)
print(url.text)

I looked at the site and in the body they are also passing a header property in the data
So you should use
data = {
"header": {
"msisdn": "024568478",
"timestamp": "1592337873",
"locale": "Ar"
},
"body": {
"password": "PJGkRJte5ntnKt9TQ8XM3Q=="
}
}
and in headers you should pass the native headers probably something like:
headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', }
but i also see by when you log into this site they pass a jwt argument in the headers. Looks like its some sort of built in security. So it looks like you can not use this API. Its only for the backend of this site.
Did you search the site to see if they have API documentation, maybe their is written how you can calculate the value for jwt?
EDIT:
When you get the login working this is. How to use sessions in python requests:
s = requests.Session()
data = {"login":"my_login", "password":"my_password"}
url = "http://example.net/login"
r = s.post(url, data=data)
If you do not get arround the jwt. You can uses Selenium in python. It works by automating a webbrowser. So you can open chrome tell it wich page to load, fill in your login form and read the html of elements in the browser. This will work on 95% of the websites. Some even have protections against it. Some sites use cloudflare, they are protected from selenium automation.

How to display body and headers before sending POST request?

I use a library requests:
import requests
r = requests.post(url=url, data=data, headers=headers, auth=(self.api_key, ''))
How to display body and headers before sending POST request? or display full request how it is sent?
Because server returns 400 HTTP with message Bad Request. So I need to see what is sending.
When I do:
print r.request.body
It returns:
subcategory_id=1378&category_id=45&features=id&features=value&features=id&features=value&features=id&features=value&offer_type=18979
But body is:
data = {
'category_id': category_id,
'subcategory_id': subcategory_id,
'offer_type': offer_type,
'features': [
{"id": "7", "value": "12900"},
{"id": "12", "value": "Title adadadadasdasdadad"},
{"id": "16", "value": ["3360383821"]}
]
}
How is it possible?

r.request is the corresponding Request object you need.
import requests
r = requests.post(url=url, data=data, headers=headers, auth=(self.api_key, ''))
print r.request.headers
print r.request.body
You can do it after you get the response, everything will still be there. See PreparedRequest.
As for your edited question, use requests.post(url=url, json=data, ...).

r.url
r.headers
r.body
should work in the terminal, probably have to print it in a script
You also don't need "url=url", you can just leave it as "url", assuming that's where you've stored the base you're trying to post to.

You can use portal httpbin.org for test. It sends back all your data.

How to make a post request with the Python requests library?

I am using the following filters in Postman to make a POST request in a Web API but I am unable to make a simple POST request in Python with the requests library.
First, I am sending a POST request to this URL (http://10.61.202.98:8081/T/a/api/rows/cat/ect/tickets) with the following filters in Postman applied to the Body, with the raw and JSON(application/json) options selected.
Filters in Postman
{
"filter": {
"filters": [
{
"field": "RCA_Assigned_Date",
"operator": "gte",
"value": "2017-05-31 00:00:00"
},
{
"field": "RCA_Assigned_Date",
"operator": "lte",
"value": "2017-06-04 00:00:00"
},
{
"field": "T_Subcategory",
"operator": "neq",
"value": "Temporary Degradation"
},
{
"field": "Issue_Status",
"operator": "neq",
"value": "Queued"
}],
"logic": "and"
}
}
The database where the data is stored is Cassandra and according to the following links Cassandra not equal operator, Cassandra OR operator,
Cassandra Between order by operators, Cassandra does not support the NOT EQUAL TO, OR, BETWEEN operators, so there is no way I can filter the URL with these operators except with AND.
Second, I am using the following code to apply a simple filter with the requests library.
import requests
payload = {'field':'T_Subcategory','operator':'neq','value':'Temporary Degradation'}
url = requests.post("http://10.61.202.98:8081/T/a/api/rows/cat/ect/tickets",data=payload)
But what I've got is the complete data of tickets instead of only those that are not temporary degradation.
Third, the system is actually working but we are experiencing a delay of 2-3 mins to see the data. The logic goes as follows: We have 8 users and we want to see all the tickets per user that are not temporary degradation, then we do:
def get_json():
if user_name == "user 001":
with urllib.request.urlopen(
"http://10.61.202.98:8081/T/a/api/rows/cat/ect/tickets?user_name=user&001",timeout=15) as url:
complete_data = json.loads(url.read().decode())
elif user_name == "user 002":
with urllib.request.urlopen(
"http://10.61.202.98:8081/T/a/api/rows/cat/ect/tickets?user_name=user&002",timeout=15) as url:
complete_data = json.loads(url.read().decode())
return complete_data
def get_tickets_not_temp_degradation(start_date,end_date,complete_):
return Counter([k['user_name'] for k in complete_data if start_date < dateutil.parser.parse(k.get('DateTime')) < end_date and k['T_subcategory'] != 'Temporary Degradation'])
Basically, we get the whole set of tickets from the current and last year, then we let Python to filter the complete set by user and so far there are only 10 users which means that this process is repeated 10 times and makes me no surprise to discover why we get the delay...
My questions is how can I fix this problem of the requests library? I am using the following link Requests library documentation as a tutorial to make it working but it just seems that my payload is not being read.

Your Postman request is a JSON body. Just reproduce that same body in Python. Your Python code is not sending JSON, nor is it sending the same data as your Postman sample.
For starters, sending a dictionary via the data arguments encodes that dictionary to application/x-www-form-urlencoded form, not JSON. Secondly, you appear to be sending a single filter.
The following code replicates your Postman post exactly:
import requests
filters = {"filter": {
"filters": [{
"field": "RCA_Assigned_Date",
"operator": "gte",
"value": "2017-05-31 00:00:00"
}, {
"field": "RCA_Assigned_Date",
"operator": "lte",
"value": "2017-06-04 00:00:00"
}, {
"field": "T_Subcategory",
"operator": "neq",
"value": "Temporary Degradation"
}, {
"field": "Issue_Status",
"operator": "neq",
"value": "Queued"
}],
"logic": "and"
}}
url = "http://10.61.202.98:8081/T/a/api/rows/cat/ect/tickets"
response = requests.post(url, json=filters)
Note that filters is a Python data structure here, and that it is passed to the json keyword argument. Using the latter does two things:
Encode the Python data structure to JSON (producing the exact same JSON value as your raw Postman body value).
Set the Content-Type header to application/json (as you did in your Postman configuration by picking the JSON option in the dropdown menu after picking raw for the body).
requests is otherwise just an HTTP API, it can't make Cassandra do any more than any other HTTP library. The urllib.request.urlopen code sends GET requests, and are trivially translated to requests with:
def get_json():
url = "http://10.61.202.98:8081/T/a/api/rows/cat/ect/tickets"
response = requests.get(url, params={'user_name': user}, timeout=15)
return response.json()
I removed the if branching and replaced that with using the params argument, which translates a dictionary of key-value pairs to a correctly encoded URL query (passing in the user name as the user_name key).
Note the json() call on the response; this takes care of decoding JSON data coming back from the server. This still takes long, you are not filtering the Cassandra data much here.

I would recommend using the json attribute instead of data. It handles the dumping for you.
import requests
data = {'user_name':'user&001'}
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json'}
url = "http://10.61.202.98:8081/T/a/api/rows/cat/ect/tickets/"
r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
Update, answer for question 3. Is there a reason you are using urllib? I’d use python requests as well for this request.
import requests
def get_json():
r = requests.get("http://10.61.202.98:8081/T/a/api/rows/cat/ect/tickets”, params={"user_name": user_name.replace(" ", "&")})
return r.json
# not sure what you’re doing here, more context/code example would help
def get_tickets_not_temp_degradation(start_date, end_date, complete_):
return Counter([k['user_name'] for k in complete_data if start_date < dateutil.parser.parse(k.get('DateTime')) < end_date and k['T_subcategory'] != 'Temporary Degradation'])
Also, is the username really supposed to be user+001 and not user&001 or user 001?

I think, you can use requests library as follows:
import requests
import json
payload = {'field':'T_Subcategory','operator':'neq','value':'Temporary Degradation'}
url = requests.post("http://10.61.202.98:8081/T/a/api/rows/cat/ect/tickets",data=json.dumps(payload))

You are sending user in url, use it through post, but its depend upon how end points are implemented. You can try the below code :
import requests
from json import dumps
data = {'user_name':'user&001'}
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json'}
url = "http://10.61.202.98:8081/T/a/api/rows/cat/ect/tickets/"
r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=dumps(data))

Can not parse JSON share document.\nRequest body:\n\nError:\nnull

I am trying to send a request to Linkedin's rest share api. I have been receiving this error message:
{
"errorCode": 0,
"message": "Can not parse JSON share document.\nRequest body:\n\nError:\nnull",
"requestId": "ETX9XFEI7N",
"status": 400,
"timestamp": 1437910620120
}
The request is send through the following python code:
import requests,json
auth_token = "some auth token"
url = "https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/shares?format=json&oauth2_access_token="+auth_token
headers = {'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded','x-li-format':'json'}
data = {
"comment":"Check out developer.linkedin.com!",
"content":{
"title": "LinkedIn Developers Resources",
"description": "Leverage LinkedIn's APIs to maximize engagement",
"submitted-url": "https://developer.linkedin.com",
"submitted-image-url": "https://example.com/logo.png"
},
"visibility":{
"code": "anyone"
}
}
response = requests.post( url , json= data , headers=headers )
return HttpResponse( response )
I made sure that I followed all the instructions in their documentation and can't find the mistake I am making.
Note: i have tried json=data and data=data both are not working

Remove content-type from the headers dictionary.
requests sets the correct Content-Type when using the json keyword argument.

You have three basic problems:
Please read the documentation on oauth2; because you are not passing in the token correctly.
The share URL does not take a oauth2_token argument.
You have the wrong content-type header.
