Use barneygale/quarry with Microsoft Account

My goal is to create a python script, that connects to a Minecraft server.
Apparently barneygale/quarry is a widely used library for this purpose.
My problem right now is, that I cant't find a way to use this library with an Microsoft Account. The Profile.from_credentials function apparently only works with Mojang accounts.
There is an other way to create a profile, using an access token and a client token.
I've found another library (msmcauth), which creates a new access token, but I can't figure out, were to get the client token.
Here is my code:
from quarry.net.auth import Profile
import msmcauth
loginDetails = msmcauth.login("email", "password")
profile = Profile.from_token("foo", loginDetails.access_token, loginDetails.uuid, loginDetails.username)

I think you should change the place of the arguments.
the order is:
profile = Profile.from_token("foo", loginDetails.access_token, loginDetails.username, loginDetails.uuid)
It works for me...

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:

It seems like in 2022 this is the only active working and maintained python solution:

Sending an order to oanda

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.
