I need to run a curl POST to obtain API token as following:
curl - i -v -k -X POST -d '{"authType":"LOCAL","password":"mypw","username":"admin"}' --header "Content-Type:application/json" "https://x.x.x.x:xxxx/myapi_auth_path/login"
Everything runs well and I can obtain the token.
Now I want to do that with Python requests:
import requests
address = "https://x.x.x.x:xxxx/myapi_auth_path/login"
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
data = {"authType": "LOCAL",
"password": "mypw",
"username": "admin"}
res = requests.post(address, data=data, headers=headers, verify=False)
I get this error:
Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
What is wrong with the Python code?
You're using data=data which means your data dict will be form-encoded.
You can use json=data instead (this will also set the Content-Type header for you)
It's covered in this section of the docs,

I have a rest api that offers an upload file post functionality. To test this, I simply did this on my python test code:
fo = open('file.zip', 'rb')
rb_file = {'confile': ('file.zip', fo, 'multipart/form-data')}
resp = requests.post(url,files=rb_file)
fo.close()
This request returns a uuid response {ce9f2d23-8ecd-4c60-9d31-aef0be103d44} that is needed for initiating another post run for a scan.
From Swagger, manually passing this uuid to the scan post request generates the following curl:
curl -X POST "http://....../scan" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "FilID=ce9f2d23-8ecd-4c60-9d31-aef0be103d44"
My question is how to convert this curl to a python request code noting that I no longer have the file on my local machine. The server seems to be expecting a -F rather than a param. How do I pass a file that doesn't exist on my local machine to http request in this case? All I have is the filID. I tried running as param but that doesn't find the resource.
try this !
import requests
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
}
files = {
'FilID': (None, 'ce9f2d23-8ecd-4c60-9d31-aef0be103d44'),
}
response = requests.post('http://....../scan', headers=headers, files=files)
I'm attempting to translate the following curl request to something that will run in django.
curl -X POST https://api.lemlist.com/api/hooks --data '{"targetUrl":"https://example.com/lemlist-hook"}' --header "Content-Type: application/json" --user ":1234567980abcedf"
I've run this in git bash and it returns the expected response.
What I have in my django project is the following:
apikey = '1234567980abcedf'
hookurl = 'https://example.com/lemlist-hook'
data = '{"targetUrl":hookurl}'
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
response = requests.post(f'https://api.lemlist.com/api/hooks/', data=data, headers=headers, auth=('', apikey))
Running this python code returns this as a json response
{}
Any thoughts on where there might be a problem in my code?
Thanks!
Adding to what nikoola said, I think you want that whole data line to be as follows so you aren't passing that whole thing as a string. Requests will handle serializing and converting python objects to json for you [EDIT: if you use the json argument instead of data].
source: https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/quickstart/#more-complicated-post-requests
Instead of encoding the dict yourself, you can also pass it directly
using the json parameter (added in version 2.4.2) and it will be
encoded automatically:
Note, the json parameter is ignored if either data or files is passed.
Using the json parameter in the request will change the Content-Type
in the header to application/json.
data = {"targetUrl":hookurl}
import requests
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}
data = '{"targetUrl":"https://example.com/lemlist-hook"}'
response = requests.post('https://api.lemlist.com/api/hooks', headers=headers, data=data, auth=('', '1234567980abcedf'))

Really would appreciate some help to understand what I'm missing.
I have a working curl command that I need to map to an equal python function using requests.
All my attempts end up failing with a message of :
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', error(32, 'Broken pipe'))
The original curl command is:
curl -X POST "https://x.x.x.x/api/upload" -H "accept: application/json"
-H "authorization: Basic BlaBla" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
-F "file=#SomeFile.zip;type=application/zip"
My failing python code is:
def importZip(self, fAuth, infile, dir=''):
trgtURL = fAuth.url+"/api/upload"
headers = {'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'}
data = {'upload':''}
files = {'file': (infile, open(dir+infile,'rb'))}
r = fAuth.session.post(trgtURL, files=files, data=data)
fAuth is just a class I use to authenticate and retain the session for follow up calls. I can use the fAuth instance to do gets no problem, so I suspect the problem isn't tied to the underlying session.
Any ideas or insight are greatly appreciated.
-H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" equal to {"Accept": "application/json"} in python. Content-Type is not necessary, because library will add it.
-H "authorization: Basic BlaBla" is a bit special in header. So you should read Authentication
So you job is to add auth param, and modify your headers by your command example.
def importZip(self, fAuth, infile, dir=''):
trgtURL = fAuth.url+"/api/upload"
headers = {"Accept": "application/json"}
files = {'file': (infile, open(dir+infile,'rb'), "application/zip")}
auth = (user,passwd)
r = fAuth.session.post(trgtURL, headers=headers, files=files, auth=auth)
I am working on a project to incorporate Verizon Thingspace REST APIs into a Python program.
A co-worker provided me with an example in CURL that works (I am not familiar with Curl so am trying to convert into Python).
curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Accept: application/json" --header "VZ-M2M-Token: 621d9779-f8bc-4fe9-91dd-b726c52e7117" --header "Authorization: Bearer 89ba225e1438e95bd05c3cc288d3591" -d "{\"accountName\": \"TestAccount-1\"}" https://thingspace.verizon.com/api/m2m/v1/devices/actions/list
I'm trying to convert this exact same request into a Python function. Here's what I have:
import requests
def getList(token):
url = "https://thingspace.verizon.com/api/m2m/v1/devices/actions/list"
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Accept": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer 89ba225e1438e95bd05c3cc288d3591",
"VZ-M2M-Token": "f7ef3a35-abb6-418b-92d4-7cdac8b06c5f",
}
data = {"accountName": "TestAccount-1"}
print data
deviceList = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)
print headers
print (deviceList.status_code, deviceList.reason, deviceList.text)
return deviceList
When I run this, I get the following error message back in JSON:
(400, 'Bad Request',
u'{"errorCode":"REQUEST_FAILED.UnexpectedError","errorMessage":"Could
not read document: Unrecognized token \'accountName\': was expecting
(\'true\', \'false\' or \'null\')\n at [Source:

I believe there might be something wrong with my JSON string but I need another set of eyes.
data is not automatically converted to json, you have to do this explicitly:
deviceList = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
I have this cURL:
curl -X POST http://user:pass#blabla.com:8080/job/myproject/config.xml --data-binary "#new_config.xml"
I am basically trying to set a new config for a Jenkins installation by changing the pre-existing config.xml file.
I am trying to convert it to something like this in order to use it more flexibly in my code:
url = "http://host:8080/job/myproject/config.xml"
auth = ('user','pass')
payload = {"--data-binary": "#new_config.xml"}
headers = {"Content-Type" : "application/xml"}
r = requests.post(url, auth=auth, data=payload, headers=headers)
I know that I am using incorrectly the payload and the headers.How should I change them?
I run it and I take a 500 responce code.
I read this post , but I am struggling to apply it in my case.
The --data-binary switch means: post the command line argument as the whole POST body, without wrapping in multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-encoding containers. # tells curl to load the data from a filename; new_config.xml in this case.
You'll need to open the file object to send the contents as the data argument:
url = "http://host:8080/job/myproject/config.xml"
auth = ('user','pass')
headers = {"Content-Type" : "application/xml"}
with open('new_config.xml', 'rb') as payload:
r = requests.post(url, auth=auth, data=payload, headers=headers)
Note that I pass the file object directly into requests; the data will then be read and pushed to the HTTP socket, streaming the data efficiently.
