I'm facing some difficulties executing GET request with access token via python.
For some reason when I execute the request from POSTMAN I get the expected result, however, when using python I get connection error :
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
I believe that my script is being blocked by the server to prevent scrapping attempts, but I'm not sure.
This is what I'm running via POSTMAN :
https://www.operation.io/web/alerts?access_token=6ef06fee265de1fa640b6a444ba47--z&envId=58739be2c25e76a202c9dd3e&folderId=active&sortBy=status
And this is what I'm running from inside the script :
response = requests.get('https://www.operation.io/web/alerts', headers={'Authorization': 'access_token 6ef06fee265de1fa640b6a444ba47--z'})
Please notice that the url and the access token are not real, so please don't try to use.
How can I make it work via the script and not only via postman?
Thank you for your help/
It's hard to tell without actually being able to test the solutions, but I would suggest 2 hacks that worked for me in the past:
Change "Authorization" to "authorization"
Change "6ef06fee265de1fa640b6a444ba47--z" to "Token 6ef06fee265de1fa640b6a444ba47--z" (add a space as well)
Put it all together:
response = requests.get('https://www.operation.io/web/alerts', headers={'authorization': 'Token 6ef06fee265de1fa640b6a444ba47--z'})
Since via postman you're sending the token as query param(as opposed to header), you can try this :
response = requests.get('https://www.operation.io/web/alerts', params={'access_token': '6ef06fee265de1fa640b6a444ba47--z'})
Assuming the API you're using accepts it as query param rather than as headers (which is my guess from the postman request)

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!
I am writing a program that can change your Mojang username at whatever time you specify (i.e. the name "tom" becomes available at 09:05:39 so you would set the program to change your name to "tom" at that time). To do this you need a bearer token. I can log into minecraft.net and use EditThisCookie to access that, but I want to be able to have the program wait until it is within a minute of the name dropping to gather proxies and the bearer token automatically for situations where a name is becoming available in the middle of the night or I'm just lazy. I'm not sure why my function for getting the bearer token won't work. I referenced this to write this code.
def getAT():
jsonForAT = json.dumps({"agent":{"name":"Minecraft","version":1},"username":email,"password":password,"clientToken":""})
headersForAT = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
requestForAT = requests.post('https://authserver.mojang.com/authenticate', data=jsonForAT, headers=headersForAT)
pullATRequestData = requestForAT.json()
AT = pullATRequestData["accessToken"]
return AT
I am really confused since when I use this, I get a 401 error but the program works when I get the token manually.
I also was experiencing the same issue. Then, I realized that Minecraft/Mojang accounts have security questions. If your function is getting the bearer token and your issue is that your access is denied when posting a name change request:
1st make sure your formatting it properly:
headers={'Authorization': f"Bearer {TOKEN}"
Notice the space between "Bearer" and {TOKEN}
2nd: For some reason, Mojang needs you to send a Get request to their security challenges endpoint. You don't have to do anything with the returned data..
When you got the token manually, I'm assuming your browser automatically sent this get request and that's why it worked. If you're using proxies, you'll probably need to send a post request with your security question answers, look at the API link for documentation.
For Example:
res = requests.get(
"https://api.mojang.com/user/security/challenges",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"},
)

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.
I just set up my first Parse test server on Heroku, and am having 2 main issues:
Issue 1) https:// [MY SERVER URL] /parse is returning {error: 'unauthorized'}. I've tried using Postman to authenticate using the headers
"X-Parse-Application-Id": xxx
"X-Parse-Master-Key": yyy
where xxx and yyy are my AppID and MasterKey.
Issue 2) I am not able to connect to the API using Python. I AM able to submit successful requests from the Parse dashboard itself, and also using cURL:
curl -X GET -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: xxx" -H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: undefined" https://[MY SERVER URL]/parse/classes/Customer (this works)
But when I use the following code (as it states in the Parse API documentation), I am not getting getting an
ConnectionResetError: [Errno 54] Connection reset by peer
This doesn't surprise me, since here is the Python script I'm using to connect:
import json,http
connection = http.client.HTTPConnection('api.parse.com', 443)
connection.connect()
connection.request('GET',
'/1/classes/Customer/', '', {
"X-Parse-Application-Id": "myAppID",
"X-Parse-REST-API-Key": "undefined"
})
result = json.loads(connection.getresponse().read())
In particular, it's the connection.getresponse() function call that is returning the error.
I know this doesn't look right since I don't see where I'm supposed to specify my server URL, and I have a suspicion these two issues are interconnected. Can someone help me shed some light on what's going on? I've read through the PARSE REST documentation pretty thoroughly (https://parseplatform.github.io/docs/rest/guide/) and followed along using the same structure for the requests.
I am using python requests module for calling API's.
Everything was working fine until I pushed my code to AWS. Even on AWS it is working if I am working on dev server i.e., ec2.####.amazon.com:8000 .
Here is my code :
r = requests.post(api_url, data = {"var 1":"value", "var 2":"value"})
My API url not allowed GET method so in response I am getting error that GET method not allowed which means requests.post is reads as get
Any idea what’s wrong here.
Actually the issue was due to SSL , if your server is using https method then you need to add following line in requests.post
r = requests.post(api_url, data = {"var 1":"value", "var 2":"value"}, verify=True)
Also make sure your api_url includes https not http
I have written a small function for that
def get_base_url(request):
host = get_host(request)
if request.is_secure():
return '{0}{1}/{2}'.format('https://', host, 'url')
else:
return '{0}{1}/{2}'.format('http://', host, 'url')
