Get_Actions EOSFLARE API

I'm trying to retrieve some data from EOS blockchain using APIs (eosflare). I tried following the first example for the get_actions method but I keep getting an error response.
My code:
import requests # Requests: HTTP for Humans
url = "https://api.eosflare.io/v1/eosflare/get_actions/"
data = {"account_name": "yupcreators1", "pos":30, "offset":5}
r = requests.post(url, data)
print(r.status_code)
print(r.encoding)
print(r.text)
but I don't understand why I get this response when I print r.text:
{"err_code":10,"err_msg":"Error: ($.pos: \"30\") ✖ (type: number)"}
How can I solve this? Am I not passing pos and offset arguments as numbers already?
Thanks in advance.

The example on the site looks like this:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"account_name":"eosflareiobp", "pos":-30, "offset":-5}' https://api.eosflare.io/v1/eosflare/get_actions
Notice that pos and offset are both negative numbers.

Need to pass object in a python array in bash

I am trying to get the response code for three sites using the below python code snippet. But wondering how I can parse each object in the array to pass through the for loop within the curl call.
import os
servers = ["google", "yahoo", "nonexistingsite"]
for i in range(len(servers)):
print(os.system('curl --write-out "%{http_code}\n" --silent --output'
' /dev/null "https://servers[i].com"'))
With the above code, it's not getting passed through servers[i].

You need to perform string formatting, like:
import os
servers = ["google", "yahoo", "nonexistingsite"]
for server in servers:
print(os.system('curl --write-out "%{{http_code}}\\n" --silent --output /dev/null "https://{}.wellsfargo.com"'.format(server)))
The above can however still go wrong, if for example the servers contain quotes, etc.
It might be better to here use subprocess.run and pass it a list of parameters, like:
servers = ["google", "yahoo", "nonexistingsite"]
for server in servers:
p = subprocess.run(
[
'curl'
'--write-out',
'%{http_code}\\n',
'--silent',
'--output'
'/dev/null',
'https://{}.wellsfargo.com'.format(server)
],
shell=True,
capture_output=True
)

Try using Python's string formatting, something like:
"This string uses an %s" %(argument) would become "This string uses an argument"
Something like this:
print(os.system('curl --write-out "%%{http_code}\n" --silent --output /dev/null "https://%s.wellsfargo.com"') % (servers[i])
More here: https://powerfulpython.com/blog/python-string-formatting/

Just use the requests library instead of shelling out to run curl:
for s in servers:
resp = requests.get(s)
print(resp.status_code)
Since you don't care about the body of the response, only whether it responds, you could save bandwidth by using the head function instead of get to retrieve only the headers from the server.

Python Flask - Passing hash input in API call

I am a beginner in making API. I have followed the blog https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/designing-a-restful-api-with-python-and-flask and able to create the Get - Post API method.
I am using Flask to making Rest API. Please see the code below in which I want to take question as input in API and return an answer in JSON format by making my code as an API.
app = Flask(__name__)
#app.route('/match/api/v1', methods = ['POST'])
def my_form_post():
if not request.json or not 'question' in request.json:
abort(400)
input_text_p = request.json['question'] # access input from curl request
reference_data = request.json['data'] # to access data field from the API request
path = 'airtel_faq.xlsx'
question_list, answer_list = read_excel_file(path) # reading some reference data from an excel file
input_text = input_text_p.translate(None, string.punctuation) # remove punctuation
final_answer = find_similarity(input_text, answer_list, question_list)
print "Final Answer is : ", final_answer
values = [
{'id' : 1,
'answer' : final_answer # answer I want in JSON
'done' : False
}
]
return jsonify({'values': values}), 201
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug = True)
I am trying to pass hash input for data tag in the request to API. I am not aware how to do this. The curl request I am making is giving error:
Failed to decode JSON object: Expecting ',' delimiter or '}': line 1 column 80 (char 79)
The curl request I am making :
curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"question":"Hi","cutoff":"0.3", "data":"{"q":"hello whats going on","a":"I am fine","type":"1"}"}' http://localhost:5000/match/api
Please let me know how to do this. Do I have to include anything in my script. Or is there a way to pass the JSON file in API call by giving path to the file.

In order to parse the JSON request, it needs to be valid JSON. Try this request:
curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"question": "Hi", "cutoff": "0.3", "data": {"q": "hello whats going on", "a": "I am fine", "type": "1"}}' http://localhost:5000/match/api

Problems with python + json vs. curl

so when I run the python code the server (google) give me a different response than when I run curl command. Can someone tell me where I'm wrong please?
code:
import urllib2, simplejson
def MapsWIFI(card):
req = urllib2.Request("https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=AI...")
jWifi = """
{
"wifiAccessPoints": [
{
"macAddress": "64:D1:A3:0A:11:65",
"channel": 6,
},
... #some AP here
]
}
"""
print jWifi
req.add_header("Content-Type", "application/json")
jWifiReport = urllib2.urlopen(req,simplejson.dumps(jWifi)).read()
print jWifiReport
APdetected = str(len(wifiCell))
mapsDict = simplejson.loads(jWifiReport)
location = str(mapsDict.get("location",{}))[1:-1]
accuracy = "Accuracy: "+str(mapsDict.get("accuracy",{}))[1:-1]
mapMe = "|---"+location.split(",")[0]+"\n|---"+location.split(",")[1][1:]+"\n|---$
return mapMe
MapsWIFI("wlp8s0")
And the command is:
curl -d #file2.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" -i "https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=AI..."
where file2.json contains exactly jWifi in that format.
The problem is that, as said, the location returned by the code is different from the location returned by curl. I don't get error code so I thing that the syntax is correct.

The data is already a JSON encoded string, you don't want to encode it twice.
Pass it in without encoding it again:
jWifiReport = urllib2.urlopen(req, jWifi).read()
You only need to encode if you have a Python data structure (a dictionary in this case).

Launch Jenkins parametrized build from script

I am trying to launch a Jenkins parametrized job from a python script. Due to environment requirements, I can't install python-jenkins. I am using raw requests module.
This job I am trying to launch has three parameters:
string (let's call it payload)
string (let's call it target)
file (a file, optional)
I've searched and search, without any success.
I managed to launch the job with two string parameters by launching:
import requests
url = "http://myjenkins/job/MyJobName/buildWithParameters"
target = "http://10.44.542.62:20000"
payload = "{payload: content}"
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}
msg = {
'token': 'token',
'payload': [ payload ],
'target': [ target ],
}
r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=msg)
However I am unable to send a file and those arguments in single request.
I've tried requests.post file argument and failed.

It turns out it is impossible to send both data and file in a single request via HTTP.

import jenkinsapi
from jenkinsHandler import JenkinsHandler
in your python script
Pass parameters to buildJob() , (like < your JenkinsHandler object name>.buildJob())
JenkinsHandler module has functions like init() , buildJob(), isRunning() which helps in triggering the build

Here is an example:
curl -vvv -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/jenkins/job/jobname/build
--form file0='#/tmp/yourfile'
--form json='{"parameter": [{"name":"file", "file":"file0"}]}'
--form json='{"parameter": [{"name":"payload", "value":"123"}]
--form json='{"parameter": [{"name":"target", "value":"456"}]}'
