LinkedIn Job Search REST API Issue(s)

I see there has been questions similar to this but the responses to them explains my asking a similar question here. I am wanting to utilize LinkedIn's REST API for my personal job hunt, specifically utilizing the job search API capabilities.
My problem comes in with retrieving an access token and autorisation to actually use the app. I have tried the below code - the first cell is to retrieve autorisation and the second is to retrieve an access token:
from linkedin import linkedin
APPLICATON_KEY = 'XXXXXX'
APPLICATON_SECRET = 'XXXXX'
RETURN_URL = 'http://localhost:8000'
authentication = linkedin.LinkedInAuthentication(APPLICATON_KEY, APPLICATON_SECRET, RETURN_URL,
linkedin.PERMISSIONS.enums.values())
print (authentication.authorization_url) #open this url on your browser
Access token:
authentication = linkedin.LinkedInAuthentication(
APPLICATON_KEY,
APPLICATON_SECRET,
RETURN_URL,
linkedin.PERMISSIONS.enums.values()
)
authentication.authorization_code = '#############################################'
result = authentication.get_access_token()
print ("Access Token:", result.access_token)
print ("Expires in (seconds):", result.expires_in)
When I attempt to retreieve authorisation (required for access token) the following error occurs:
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/linkedin/linkedin.py", line 294
except (requests.ConnectionError, requests.HTTPError), error:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
It's an obvious syntax error, however am ignorant to what it is exactly - I have a feeling it might be my localhost

That error points to the comma separating the exception classes from the variable name.
A comma there is Python 2.x syntax, so that means the linkedin library you're using is not compatible with Python 3.
If you're using this library, you can see it's not been updated in 5 years. This (PyPI) seems like a slightly fresher fork.

Need a Python script for Slack to deactivate a user [duplicate]

I have tried multiple approaches to this. Tried first getting the user without any user id - this returns me just my user, then tried getting user with other id's and it also retrieves data correctly. However, I can't seem to be able to set user attribute 'deleted'. i'm using this python approach.
slack_client.api_call('users.profile.set', deleted=True, user='U36D86MNK')
However I get the error message of:
{u'error': u'invalid_user', u'ok': False}
Maybe someone has already done this? It says in documentation that it's a paid service mentioning this message under a user property:
This argument may only be specified by team admins on paid teams.
But shouldn't it give me a 'paid service' response in that case then?

The users.profile.set apparently does not work for for setting each and every property of a user.
To set the deleted property there is another API method called users.admin.setInactive. Its an undocumented method and it will only work on paid teams.
Note: This requires a legacy token and doesn't work with App tokens - these are only available on paid plans and new legacy tokens can't be created anymore

in python you can do the following:
import requests
def del_slack_user(user_id): # the user_id can be found under get_slack_users()
key = 'TOKEN KEY' #replace token key with your actual token key
payload = {'token': key, 'user': user_id}
response = requests.delete('https://slack.com/api/users.admin.setInactive', params=payload)
print(response.content)
def get_slack_users():
url = 'https://slack.com/api/users.list?token=ACCESSTOKEN&pretty=1'
response = requests.get(url=url)
response_data = response.json() # turns the query into a json object to search through`

You can use Slack's SCIM API to enable and disable a user. Note that, as with the undocumented API endpoint mentioned in other answers this requires a Plus/Enterprise account.

Python twitter package : get error code

I'm not yet very familiar with error handling in Python. I'd like to know how to retrieve the error code when I get an error using the python-twitter package :
import twitter
#[...]
try:
twitter_connexion.friendships.create(screen_name = "someone_who_blocked_me", follow = True)
except twitter.TwitterHTTPError as twittererror:
print(twittererror)
Twitter sent status 403 for URL: 1.1/friendships/create.json using parameters: (follow=True&oauth_consumer_key=XXX&oauth_nonce=XXX&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=XXX&oauth_token=XXX&oauth_version=1.0&screen_name=someone_who_blocked_me&oauth_signature=XXX)
details: {'errors': [{'message': 'You have been blocked from following this account at the request of the user.', 'code': 162}]}
In this case, I'd like to retrieve the 'code': 162 part, or just the 162.
twittererror.args is a tuple with one element in it, which is a string, print(twittererror.args[0][0:10]) outputs Twitter se
How can I get the 162 ?
(Obviously, twittererror.args[0][582:585] is not the answer I'm looking for, as any other error message will be of a different length and the error code won't be at [582:585])

Looking at how the TwitterHTTPError is defined in this GitHub repo, you should obtain the dict with twittererror.response_data.
Therefore you can do something like that:
import twitter
#[...]
try:
twitter_connexion.friendships.create(screen_name = "someone_who_blocked_me", follow = True)
except twitter.TwitterHTTPError as twittererror:
for error in twittererror.response_data.get("errors", []):
print(error.get("code", None))

Searching users on LinkedIn using Python-LinkedIn

I am new to python programming. I am trying to access LinkedIn data using pyhton.
I have performed all the steps mentioned at https://ozgur.github.io/python-linkedin/
When I run the code to get profile, i get the desired result but if I try to code anything else (like search_profile() or get_group(41001)) I get the following error
LinkedInError: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url:
The code that have written is below:
API_KEY = "xyz"
API_SECRET = "abc"
RETURN_URL = "http://localhost:8080/testPrj/auth/linkedin"
Access_Token = "abcdef"
application = linkedin.LinkedInApplication(token=Access_Token)
application.get_profile() # No Error
application.get_group(41001) # Error
application.search_profile(selectors=[{'people':['first_name','last_name']}]) # Error
Can someone help me to understand what is this issue and how to solve it ?
Thanks !!!

PyBingSearch Module: Bing API error

I am trying to use the PyBingSearch module from https://github.com/tristantao/py-bing-search to use the Bing API to return search results. In the github page they have an example of how to use it that goes.
from py_bing_search import PyBingWebSearch
search_term = "Python Software Foundation"
bing_web = PyBingWebSearch('Your-Api-Key-Here', search_term, web_only=False) # web_only is optional, but should be true to use your web only quota instead of your all purpose quota
first_fifty_result= bing_web.search(limit=50, format='json') #1-50
When I try and run the line that declares first_fifity_result I get an error stating Request returned with code 401, error msg: The authorization type you provided is not supported. Only Basic and OAuth are supported
Why do I get this error? In my code I made sure to change Your-Api-Key-Here to my API key.

Did you swap your API key? Where is says "Your-API-Key-Here"
bing_web = PyBingWebSearch('Your-Api-Key-Here', search_term, web_only=False) # web_only is optional, but should be true to use your web only quota instead of your all purpose quota
