I'm new to Python/rest API
the above screenshot is a sample POST request that running fine via 3rd party SandBox, and I want to be able run this POST Request via Python so I can do more personalization on it (e.g. run multiple taskid at one shot, output pre/post result, etc...):
1- Issue Description:
I'm using this script to make a POST request to a API. in this case, I want to pass the plain text (taskId = 125918) as a variable so can use it in the script, and can't make the same POST request with this plain text that highlighted in the above sample screenshot(taskId = 451).
taskId = 0
task = {(taskId, 'text/plain') : 125918}
r2 = requests.post(DisableSchedule, data = task, headers=headers)
2- what have been tried:
#1 " tried below python script and gave an error : file "string", line unknown paraseError: no element found: line 1, coilmun 0
taskId = 0
task = {taskId : 125918}
r2 = requests.post(DisableSchedule, data = task, headers=headers)
or
r2 = requests.post(DisableSchedule, files = dict(taskId = 125918), headers=headers)
3- How to make this request using the clear text as a variable in Python ?
variable before the script, and I want to use this plain text variable in the POST request
taskId = 125918
use 'payload' in request body and it works now :
payload = "taskId=125918"
r2 = requests.request("POST",DisableSchedule, headers=headers, data = payload )
I am trying to use Etsy API to add a new listing on my store. In the documents section it says (below section how to do it). First fyi I have never used HTTP Method before so I am not sure how to setup the code so that it adds a new item.
(Link to the Etsy API page https://www.etsy.com/developers/documentation/reference/listing).

Requires OAuth Y
Permission Scope listings_w
Notes
A shipping_template_id is required when creating a listing.
All listings created on www.etsy.com must be actual items for sale. Please see our guidelines for testingwith live listings.
Creating a listing creates a single inventory products with the supplied price and quantity. Use updateInventory to add more products.
The code I have right know looks like this
import urllib
import requests
url = 'https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/active?api_key={YOUR KEY HERE)' # I put my API key here
r = requests.get(url)
payload = {'quantity': '1', 'title': 'testdfsdfdfs0','description': 'dfsdfsdfsdfdsf','price': '2.55','who_made': 'i_did','is_supply': '0','when_made': '2010_2017'}
rrr = requests.post(url,payload)
print rrr # I get an error 404
How can I add an item for sale on Etsy through Python HTTP method?

Any ideas how to make this work? There is very little info regarding Etsy API and most of the stuff is in PHP which I have no clue how to work.
Image Uploading API
Everything looks the same like above this time I just changed the payload but I am getting a 403 Error. I am not sure what is causing it. My best guess would be something with oauth1.0 i think on their website it says you need oauth 1.1.
Here is how I set it up but I am getting 403 error:
url = 'https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings'
payload = {'listing_id':'342434342', 'image': ("test1.jpg", open('C:\\Users\\abc\\test1.jpg'),'image/jpeg'),'type':'image/jpeg'}
result = etsy.put(url, params=payload)
print result
Comment: ... at this point I am lost I have no idea where to put the pin# that etsy gave me
etsy oauth#reference
The token credentials you receive for a account do not expire,
and can be used over and over again to make authenticated API requests.
You should keep the token secret in a secure location and never send it as a plaintext parameter
(it's only used for signing your requests, and never needs to be sent in an API request on its own.)
You will not need to step through the OAuth authorization again,
unless you decides to revoke access, or unless you add features that require additional permission scopes.
Note: Didn't find a equivalent Replacement for PHP OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_URI.
OAuth1Session Defaults to signature_type=u'AUTH_HEADER', so this could be wrong.
If this fails, you could try:
from oauthlib.oauth1 import SIGNATURE_TYPE_QUERY, SIGNATURE_TYPE_BODY
OAuth1Session(..., signature_type=SIGNATURE_TYPE_QUERY)
Create etsy OAuth1Session to reuse for Requests:
etsy = OAuth1Session(client_key,
client_secret=client_secret,
resource_owner_key=resource_owner_key,
resource_owner_secret=resource_owner_secret)
etsy Making an Authorized Request to the API:
response = etsy.get("https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/users/__SELF__")
user_data = json.loads(response.body_as_unicode())
etsy Checking Permission Scopes After Authentication:
response = etsy.get("https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/oauth/scopes")
meta = json.loads(response.body_as_unicode())
etsy Creates a new Listing
url = 'https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings'
payload = {'quantity': '1', 'title':...}
result = etsy.post(url, params=payload)
Comment: for api key do I need to import oauth2
According to Reference, Yes.
For write access and for accessing private user data, an OAuth access
token is required. Your application key is required to start the OAuth
authentication process.
Requires OAuth Y
Also your url should end with
URI /listings
url = 'https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings'
Your url should only up to the Question mark, for example:
url = 'https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/active'
payload = {'api_key':YOUR KEY HERE, 'quantity': '1', ...
rrr = requests.post(url, params=payload)
Requests Quickstart: Passing Parameters In URLs
You often want to send some sort of data in the URL's query string.
If you were constructing the URL by hand,
this data would be given as key/value pairs in the URL after a question mark, e.g. \http://bin.org/get?key=val.
Requests allows you to provide these arguments as a dictionary of strings, using the params keyword argument.
Question: I am trying to upload a picture ... getting a 403 error
Your url Endpoint and payload isn't correct.
url = 'https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings'
payload = {'listing_id':'342434342', 'image': ("test1.jpg", open('C:\\Users\\abc\\test1.jpg'),'image/jpeg'),'type':'image/jpeg'}
Steps to do a etsy Request(uploadListingImage):
Read the Reference for your Method Name
Method Name uploadListingImage
HTTP Method POST
URI /listings/:listing_id/images
Parameters Name Required Default Type
listing_id Y int
listing_image_id N int
image N imagefile
...
Requires OAuth Y
Respect Supported Sizes Working with Images
Note: For me, it's unclear what the image Parameter is for.
And as it's NOT required makes no sense.
I assume its a Placeholder for the Parameter at Point 4 below: {'image':...
Build the URI
uri = 'https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/342434342/images'
Create the Params Dict according to the above Reference
I recommend to use a listing_image_id, as this seems the only way to delete a Image afterwards.
params = {'listing_id':'342434342', 'listing_image_id': 1}
Create Multipart-Encoded File Dict
Image uploads can be performed using a POST request with the Content-Type: multipart/form-dataheader, following RFC1867
# PHP example from Reference:
# $params = array('#image' => '#'.$source_file.';type='.$mimetype);
files = {'image': ("test1.jpg", open('C:\\Users\\abc\\test1.jpg', 'rb'), 'image/jpeg')}
Do the Request, according the Reference, you have to use OAuth and POST
result = etsy.post(uri, params=params, files=files)
Please Comment if this is working for you or why not.
I have asked a few questions about this before, but still haven't solved my problem.
I am trying to allow Salesforce to remotely send commands to a Raspberry Pi via JSON (REST API). The Raspberry Pi controls the power of some RF Plugs via an RF Transmitter called a TellStick. This is all setup, and I can use Python to send these commands. All I need to do now is make the Pi accept JSON, then work out how to send the commands from Salesforce.
Someone kindly forked my repo on GitHub, and provided me with some code which should make it work. But unfortunately it still isn't working.
Here is the previous question: How to accept a JSON POST?
And here is the forked repo: https://github.com/bfagundez/RemotePiControl/blob/master/power.py
What do I need to do? I have sent test JSON messages n the Postman extension and in cURL but keep getting errors.
I just want to be able to send various variables, and let the script work the rest out.
I can currently post to a .py script I have with some URL variables, so /python.py?power=on&device=1&time=10&pass=whatever and it figures it out. Surely there's a simple way to send this in JSON?
Here is the power.py code:
# add flask here
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
app.debug = True
# keep your code
import time
import cgi
from tellcore.telldus import TelldusCore
core = TelldusCore()
devices = core.devices()
# define a "power ON api endpoint"
#app.route("/API/v1.0/power-on/<deviceId>",methods=['POST'])
def powerOnDevice(deviceId):
payload = {}
#get the device by id somehow
device = devices[deviceId]
# get some extra parameters
# let's say how long to stay on
params = request.get_json()
try:
device.turn_on()
payload['success'] = True
return payload
except:
payload['success'] = False
# add an exception description here
return payload
# define a "power OFF api endpoint"
#app.route("/API/v1.0/power-off/<deviceId>",methods=['POST'])
def powerOffDevice(deviceId):
payload = {}
#get the device by id somehow
device = devices[deviceId]
try:
device.turn_off()
payload['success'] = True
return payload
except:
payload['success'] = False
# add an exception description here
return payload
app.run()
Your deviceID variable is a string, not an integer; it contains a '1' digit, but that's not yet an integer.
You can either convert it explicitly:
device = devices[int(deviceId)]
or tell Flask you wanted an integer parameter in the route:
#app.route("/API/v1.0/power-on/<int:deviceId>", methods=['POST'])
def powerOnDevice(deviceId):
where the int: part is a URL route converter.
Your views should return a response object, a string or a tuple instead of a dictionary (as you do now), see About Responses. If you wanted to return JSON, use the flask.json.jsonify() function:
# define a "power ON api endpoint"
#app.route("/API/v1.0/power-on/<int:deviceId>", methods=['POST'])
def powerOnDevice(deviceId):
device = devices[deviceId]
# get some extra parameters
# let's say how long to stay on
params = request.get_json()
try:
device.turn_on()
return jsonify(success=True)
except SomeSpecificException as exc:
return jsonify(success=False, exception=str(exc))
where I also altered the exception handler to handle a specific exception only; try to avoid Pokemon exception handling; do not try to catch them all!
To retrieve the Json Post values you must use request.json
if request.json and 'email' in request.json:
request.json['email']
I'm writing an application that utilizes Paypal's permissions API. I'm currently working on the sandbox. I get the verification code correctly but when I try to GetAccessToken, I get the error:
{"responseEnvelope":{"timestamp":"2013-09-03T08:32:16.580-07:00","ack":"Failure","correlationId":"3527b7033f20f","build":"2210301"},"error":[{"errorId":"560022","domain":"PLATFORM","subdomain":"Application","severity":"Error","category":"Application","message":"The X-PAYPAL-APPLICATION-ID header contains an invalid value","parameter":["X-PAYPAL-APPLICATION-ID"]}]}
I'm using the sandbox APP_ID and all the Verification code is also gotten dynamically. Here is my code fragment.
token = "AAAAAAAYaraTSVjvkUBT"
verification = "mgnnWDVfFmgAES0q371Hug"
headers2 = {
"X-PAYPAL-SECURITY-USERID": settings.USERNAME,
"X-PAYPAL-SECURITY-PASSWORD": settings.PASSWORD,
"X-PAYPAL-SECURITY-SIGNATURE": settings.SIGNATURE,
"X-PAYPAL-REQUEST-DATA-FORMAT": "JSON",
"X-PAYPAL-RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT": "JSON",
"X-PAYPAL-APPLICATION-ID": "APP-80W284485P519543T",
}
url = "https://svcs.paypal.com/Permissions/GetAccessToken/?token=%s&verifier=%s" %(token, verification)
dat2 = {"requestEnvelope": {"errorLanguage":"en_US"}}
req2 = urllib2.Request(url, simplejson.dumps(dat2), headers2)
res2 = urllib2.urlopen(req2).read()
What I'm I doing wrong??
You cannot use the sandbox application id on the live environment. See https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/goingLive/#register to learn how to obtain a live application id.
The endpoint should be https://svcs.sandbox.paypal.com as Siddick said above. The paypal API documentation is so inconsistent, the endpoint i had used previously had been used in a sandbox situation in the documentation.
I'm making a web app in python using the Flask framework to request the access token from Facebook using the SDK supplied in their site.
The access token is returned and it is correctly set in the GraphAPI object. However, it is returning the following error:
GraphAPIError: Invalid OAuth access token.
If I query the graph API from my local python environment using the same access token, it works just fine. The problem seems to be when executing in the webserver.
See code snippet below:
#app.route('/facebook')
def fb():
if 'token' in session:
graph = facebook.GraphAPI(session['token'])
return graph.get_object("me")
#app.route('/facebook/login')
def fblogin():
code = request.args.get('code','')
if(code == ""):
args = dict(client_id=app_id, redirect_uri=request.base_url)
#args = dict(client_id=app_id, redirect_uri=request.url_root + 'facebook')
return redirect(
"https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?" +
urllib.urlencode(args))
else:
token = facebook.get_access_token_from_code(code, request.base_url, app_id, app_secret)
session['token'] = [token.itervalues().next()]
return redirect (request.url_root + 'facebook')
Has anyone faced this before and/or can provide some insights?
Ok, 2 issues that I have managed to correct in this code and get it working:
1) The following line of code makes a list, that why the GraphAPI object is not able to identify a valid access token:
session['token'] = [token.itervalues().next()]
2) The following line of code gives an error stating that 'dict' is not callable. This is because the returned variable is a dictionary and, in order to be returned as a view, one must first transform it into a string:
return graph.get_object("me")
