Sending an order to oanda - python

I want to send an order to oanda to make a transaction,I use ipython notebook to compile my code,this is my code:
import oandapy
trade_expire=datetime.now()+timedelta(days=1)
trade_expire=trade_expire.isoformat("T")+"Z"
oanda=oandapy.API(environment='practice',access_token='XXXX....')
account_id=xxxxxxx
response=oanda.create_order(account_id,instrument='USD_EUR',units=1000,side='buy',/
type='limit',price=1.105,expire=trade_expire)
But the error is:
OandaError: OANDA API returned error code 4 (The access token provided does
not allow this request to be made)
How can I solve this problem?

I had the same problem, but when sending orders via curl commands.
The problem has to do with which API you are using from which account.
I notice in your python it says "practice," so you'll want to make sure the API token you generated is from within your practice account. Live accounts and practice accounts each use their own API tokens, and your commands will need to match.
You might also look elsewhere in your python, where it actually pings OandA's server.
For example, when using curl, a live account uses
"https://api-fxtrade.oanda.com/v3/accounts/<ACCOUNT>/orders"
and a practice account uses
"https://api-fxpractice.oanda.com/v3/accounts/<ACCOUNT>/orders"
Using your API token generated on your live account in a practice account will produce the error you're asking about.

Salesforce API - This session is not valid for use with the REST API - Invalid Session ID

For over a year, I have connected to Salesforce using the simple_salesforce package in order to pull some data from various objects and load it to a data lake.
I have used the authentication method using username / password / security token.
client = Salesforce(
username="****************",
password="*************",
security_token="****************"
)
On the 1st of February came the enforcement of multi factor auth. Starting on that day, I consistently hit the same error over and over.
[{'message': 'This session is not valid for use with the REST API', 'errorCode': 'INVALID_SESSION_ID'}]
After some research, I tried to add a permission set with API Enabled and then API Only user. Result: still the same error, but now I am locked out of the UI.
Has anyone else encountered similar issues and could point me towards the right resources, please? Thanks!
MFA shouldn't matter for API access according to https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000352937&type=1 (Ctrl+F "API"), it's probably something else your admin did.
Username, password+token sounds like you're use SOAP login method.
See if you can create a "connected app" in SF to use the OAuth2 login method, more natural for REST API. I wrote a bit about it in https://stackoverflow.com/a/62694002/313628. In the connected app you should be able to allow API access, even full if needed. No idea if Simple has natural place for the keys though, it's bit rubbish if you'll have to craft raw http requests yourself.
Simple's documentation also mentions using JWT to log in (and that requires connected app anyway), basically instead of username + pass you go username + certificate + the fact admin preauthorised this user... You'll be fine until certificate expires.
The text part of https://gist.github.com/booleangate/30d345ecf0617db0ea19c54c7a44d06f can help you with the connected app creation; sample code's probably not needed if you're going with Simple

Get and parse data from the last message of a specific sender with python and Gmail API

Everyday, a sender "sender#sender.com" send me a message with a number inside.
I need to save this number everyday.
I want to write a python script with gmail API to get data from last mail from this sender, and then parse it.
I followed the Gmail API "Quickstart Guide" : here
I also check the page about User.message : here
However, I don't understand how to synchronize all of this to get the data.
Could someone explain me the process ?
If you where you able to complete the Gmail API quickstart, then you already have a GCP project, credentials and have authorized some Gmail API scopes for you app.
The above is the first step (being able to authenticate and be allowed to make requests for the API scope you need).
Since you need to pass a message's Id as a parameter for Users.messages.get you need to first retrieve it using listing messages for example.
So the next step is to make a request to Users.messages.list to list all messages from a user.
You could use the query (q) parameter to filter the messages by user like: q="from:someuser#example.com is:unread".
This will return a list of messages from someuser#example.com that are unread.
Try things out in the API explorer sidebar from the documentation until you have defined the request as you want, and then implement it into you app.
As aerials said.
users().messages().list(userId='me',q=("<parameters>"))).execute()
The above code will fulfill the exact same function as typing in a search request on the gmail website. You dont actually have to worry about labels or anything if you are operating at a small scale. Just follow the same syntax as the search bar on gmail.
However, I am not sure about the usage quotas on the q parameter for list. It may be more expensive for a bigger scale operation to use the q parameter instead of using the other api methods.

How to start with the InstagramAPI in Python?

i want to play with the InstagramAPI and write some code for like getting a list of my follower and something like that. I am really new to that topic.
What is the best way to do this? Is there a Python-Lib for handle those json request or should I send them directly to the (new? graphAPI, displayAPI) InstagramAPI?
Appreciate every advice I can get. Thanks :)
LevPasha's Instagram-API-python, instabot, and many other API's are no longer functional as of Oct 24, 2020 after Facebook deprecated the legacy API and now has a new, authentication-required, API. It now requires registering your app with Facebook to be able to get access to many of the API features (via oembed) that were previously available without any authentication.
See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/oembed/ for more details on the new implementation and how to migrate.
You should still be able to get a list of your followers, etc. via the new oEmbed API and python--it will require registering the app, making a call to the new GET API with your authentication key via the python requests package, and then processing the result.
There is one library called instabot. This useful library has all the necessary functions/methods to interact with your insta account. Read its documentation here.
The pip installation is: pip install instabot
To get started with, lets say you want to simply login to your account.
from instabot import Bot
bot = Bot()
bot.login(username="YOUR USERNAME", password="YOUR PASSWORD")
To get the list of your followers,
my_followers = bot.followers()
If you want to upload a photo or get your posts,
bot.upload_photo(image, caption="blah blah blah") #the image variable here is a path to that image
all_posts = bot.get_your_medias() #this will return all of your medias of the account
#to get the info of each media, use
for post in all_posts:
print(bot.get_media_info(post))
and there are many other functions/methods available in this library.
It actually very fun to interact with instagram using python. You will have a great time. Enjoy :)
You can use https://github.com/LevPasha/Instagram-API-python to call Instagram APIs
and also if you want to call API directly You can use the requests package.
It also supports graphql APIs.
Here you can see an example:
https://gist.github.com/gbaman/b3137e18c739e0cf98539bf4ec4366ad
It seems like in 2022 this is the only active working and maintained python solution:

How to use google python oauth libraries to implement OpenID Connect?

I am evaluating different options for authentication in a python App Engine flex environment, for apps that run within a G Suite domain.
I am trying to put together the OpenID Connect "Server flow" instructions here with how google-auth-library-python implements the general OAuth2 instructions here.
I kind of follow things up until 4. Exchange code for access token and ID token, which looks like flow.fetch_token, except it says "response to this request contains the following fields in a JSON array," and it includes not just the access token but the id token and other things. I did see this patch to the library. Does that mean I could use some flow.fetch_token to create an IDTokenCredentials (how?) and then use this to build an OpenID Connect API client (and where is that API documented)? And what about validating the id token, is there a separate python library to help with that or is that part of the API library?
It is all very confusing. A great deal would be cleared up with some actual "soup to nuts" example code but I haven't found anything anywhere on the internet, which makes me think (a) perhaps this is not a viable way to do authentication, or (b) it is so recent the python libraries have not caught up? I would however much rather do authentication on the server than in the client with Google Sign-In.
Any suggestions or links to code are much appreciated.
It seems Google's python library contains a module for id token validation. This can be found at google.oauth2.id_token module. Once validated, it will return the decoded token which you can use to obtain user information.
from google.oauth2 import id_token
from google.auth.transport import requests
request = requests.Request()
id_info = id_token.verify_oauth2_token(
token, request, 'my-client-id.example.com')
if id_info['iss'] != 'https://accounts.google.com':
raise ValueError('Wrong issuer.')
userid = id_info['sub']
Once you obtain user information, you should follow authentication process as described in Authenticate the user section.
OK, I think I found my answer in the source code now.
google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials exposes id_token:
Depending on the authorization server and the scopes requested, this may be populated when credentials are obtained and updated when refresh is called. This token is a JWT. It can be verified and decoded [as #kavindu-dodanduwa pointed out] using google.oauth2.id_token.verify_oauth2_token.
And several layers down the call stack we can see fetch_token does some minimal validation of the response JSON (checking that an access token was returned, etc.) but basically passes through whatever it gets from the token endpoint, including (i.e. if an OpenID Connect scope is included) the id token as a JWT.
EDIT:
And the final piece of the puzzle is the translation of tokens from the (generic) OAuthSession to (Google-specific) credentials in google_auth_oauthlib.helpers, where the id_token is grabbed, if it exists.
Note that the generic oauthlib library does seem to implement OpenID Connect now, but looks to be very recent and in process (July 2018). Google doesn't seem to use any of this at the moment (this threw me off a bit).

Google cloud translate API - "Daily Limit Exceeded"

I'm writing a bit of python using the google cloud api to translate some text.
I have set up billing on my account and it says it's active (with some credit added for the free trial). I created an application_default_credentials.json file with -
gcloud auth application-default login
Which asked me to log in to my account (I logged into the same account I set billing up on).
I then used -
os.environ["GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS"] = "/home/theo/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json"
at the start of my python script. For the coding I followed these samples here - https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples/tree/master/translate/cloud-client
Yesterday the api wouldn't work and I would receive "daily limit exceeded" even though I had not used it yet. Eventually I gave up and decided to sleep on it.
Tried again today and it was working. Without having to do anything. Ah great I thought, it must just have taken a while to update my billing information.
But I've since translated a few things, maybe 10000 characters and I'm already receiving the same error message.
I did create a "Project" on the cloud console and have an api key from there. I'm not entirely sure how to use it because the documentation I linked above just uses the json credentials file. From what I've read online, using the json file is recommended over using a key now.
Any ideas about what I need to do?
Thanks.
Solved by creating a token at https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/serviceaccountkey instead of the one created with the gcloud auth command.
After I referenced the generated json file from that page it started working.
