How to trigger pipeline API in AzureDevOps from Python (urllib3)

I have to trigger a pipeline in Azure DevOps from a python script. I have already found out that i need a private access token and that part is fine. I can, however, not get the script to work. I am trying something like this:
data = [
{
}
]
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
r = http.request('POST', api_url, headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json-patch+json', "Authorization": private_access_token}, body=data)
print(r.status)
print(r.data)
Its a requirement that i have to use urllib3 because I cant use the requests package
data is empty, because looking at the parameters here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/pipelines/runs/run%20pipeline?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0. Then i dont need any input data? I just want to trigger a pipeline, nothing else
Error message is not very helpful. I get error message 203.

I solved it by using:
authorization = str(base64.b64encode(bytes(':'+private_access_token, 'ascii')), 'ascii')
data = {}
a = json.dumps(data)
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
r = http.request('POST', api_url, headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Basic '+authorization}, body=a)

What is the best method to return smmry api request with block of text in json instead of url?

I am trying to write a function in python that returns the json from a request to the smmry API. I was able to get it working with the SM_URL request like this:
def summry():
API_ENDPOINT = "https://api.smmry.com"
API_KEY = "B..."
params = {
"SM_API_KEY":API_KEY,
"SM_URL":"https:..."
}
r = requests.get(url=API_ENDPOINT, params=params)
return r.json()
However, I am not sure how you would do this for passing in a block of text instead of a URL. I have tried making the request with sm_api_input=my_input but that returned an error of insufficient variables. I have also tried it with a POST request and got the same error.

If anyone is curious, this is how I solved the problem. Turns out I needed an Expect: 100-continue header and the sm_api_input is a separate post field instead of a get query.
def summry(text):
API_KEY = "B..."
API_ENDPOINT = "https://api.smmry.com"
data = {
"sm_api_input":text
}
params = {
"SM_API_KEY":API_KEY
}
header_params = {"Expect":"100-continue"}
r = requests.post(url=API_ENDPOINT, params=params, data=data, headers=header_params)
return r.json()

Problems with POST to Quire API

I have been playing with Quire API using python and while the GET calls work fine, I can't do any successful POST calls. I get 400 error: Bad Request. I would appreciate any hints on what I might be doing wrong.
Below are relevant code snippets:
AUTH_ENDPOINT = 'https://quire.io/oauth/token'
API_ENDPOINT = 'https://quire.io/api'
data = {
'grant_type' : 'refresh_token',
'refresh_token' : 'my_refresh_code',
'client_id' : 'my_client_id',
'client_secret' : 'my_client_secret'
}
r = requests.post(url=AUTH_ENDPOINT, data=data)
response = json.loads(r.text)
access_token = response['access_token']
headers = {'Authorization' : 'Bearer {token}'.format(token=access_token)}
# This works fine
r = requests.get(url=API_ENDPOINT + '/user/id/me', headers=headers)
user = json.loads(r.text)
print(user)
# This doesn't work
task_oid = 'my_task_oid'
data = {
'description' : 'Test Comment'
}
r = requests.post(
url=API_ENDPOINT + '/comment/' + task_oid,
data=data,
headers=headers,
)

I am not familiar with the python requests API, so I don't know about default headers.
However it looks like you missed to send the request data as a JSON string:
here what worked for me from java script:
uri: '/comment/my_task_oid',
method: 'POST',
body: '{"description":"hello comment"}'
maybe it helps, in python as well.
also a curl example:
curl -X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer my_access_token' -d "{\"description\" : \"a test comment\"}" https://quire.io/api/comment/my_task_oid

The answer provided by #cor3000 hinted that post data should be passed as JSON. I tested it out and indeed it works. Here is required modification to the POST reqest:
r = requests.post(
url=API_ENDPOINT + '/comment/' + task_oid,
data=json.dumps(data),
headers=headers,
)
Alternatively you can also do:
r = requests.post(
url=API_ENDPOINT + '/comment/' + task_oid,
json=data,
headers=headers,
)

Keep getting a 401 error when trying to pull data

I'm fairly new to using web APIs and pulling data and i'm also pretty new with python. My goal is to make a stat-tracker app but I keep getting a 401 when I try and pull the data.
I've printed out the entire url just to make sure I didn't get it wrong. I copied and pasted the API key exactly so that shouldn't be a problem
api_token = 'api key in python file'
api_url_base = 'https://public-api.tracker.gg/v2/apex/standard/'
headers = {'Content-Type' : 'application/json',
'Authorization' : 'Bearer {}'.format(api_token)}
def get_player_profile():
api_url = '{}profile/psn/Daltoosh'.format(api_url_base)
response = requests.get(api_url, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
return json.loads(response.content.decode('utf-8'))
else:
return response.status_code, api_url
print(get_player_profile())
#player_profile = get_player_profile()
#if player_profile is not None:
# print("Career Stats:")
# for k, v in player_profile['profile/psn/Daltoosh'].items():
# print('{0}:{1}.format(k, v)')
#else:
# print('[!] Data Request Failed [!]')
I expected a status code of 200 but there seems to be a problem authenticating.

I'm not too well versed in the web API that you are using, but I think you might be using the API token incorrectly. I don't think that specific API requires a Bearer token, but instead a separate header called TRN-Api-Key.
So maybe write something like this:
headers = {'Content-Type' : 'application/json', 'TRN-Api-Key' : api_token}
If you look here, you should be able to read up on how to set up authentication.

Spotify API authentication with Python

I'm trying to authenticate a user in the Spotify API, but it keeps returning me the error code "invalid_client". I'm implementing that on a Python Django solution, that's my code:
headers = {'Authorization': 'Basic '+standard_b64encode(client_id)+standard_b64encode(client_secret)}
r = requests.post('https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token', {'code': code, 'redirect_uri': redirect_uri, 'grant_type': grant_type, 'headers': headers}).json()
Any idea why it's not working?

In spotify api docs it is:
Authorization
Required. Base 64 encoded string that contains the client ID and client secret key. The field must have the format: Authorization: Basic base64 encoded( client_id:client_secret)
So i guess you should do:
import base64
'Authorization' : 'Basic ' + base64.standard_b64encode(client_id + ':' + client_secret)
It's working for me so try it. If it doesn't work my code is:
#staticmethod
def loginCallback(request_handler, code):
url = 'https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token'
authorization = base64.standard_b64encode(Spotify.client_id + ':' + Spotify.client_secret)
headers = {
'Authorization' : 'Basic ' + authorization
}
data = {
'grant_type' : 'authorization_code',
'code' : code,
'redirect_uri' : Spotify.redirect_uri
}
data_encoded = urllib.urlencode(data)
req = urllib2.Request(url, data_encoded, headers)
try:
response = urllib2.urlopen(req, timeout=30).read()
response_dict = json.loads(response)
Spotify.saveLoginCallback(request_handler, response_dict)
return
except urllib2.HTTPError as e:
return e
Hope it helps!

Are you sure you're providing client_id & client_secret in the proper format?
Looking at the docs, it suppose to be separated with :.
Also try to run the same flow with curl first and then replicate with python.
