Python requests library how to pass Authorization header with single token

Question

I have a request URI and a token  If I use   curl -s   lt MY URI gt   -H  Authorization  TOK  lt MY TOKEN gt     etc   I get a 200 and view the corresponding JSON data  So  I installed requests and when I attempt to access this resource I get a 403 probably because I do not know the correct syntax to pass that token  Can anyone help me figure it out  This is what I have   import sys socket import requests  r   requests get   lt MY URI gt     lt MY TOKEN gt    r  status code   I already tried   r   requests get   lt MY URI gt   auth    lt MY TOKEN gt     r   requests get   lt MY URI gt   auth   TOK    lt MY TOKEN gt     r   requests get   lt MY URI gt   headers   Authorization  TOK  lt MY TOKEN gt       But none of these work

I was looking for something similar and came across this. It looks like in the first option you mentioned

r = requests.get('<MY_URI>', auth=('<MY_TOKEN>'))

"auth" takes two parameters: username and password, so the actual statement should be

r=requests.get('<MY_URI>', auth=('<YOUR_USERNAME>', '<YOUR_PASSWORD>'))

In my case, there was no password, so I left the second parameter in auth field empty as shown below:

r=requests.get('<MY_URI', auth=('MY_USERNAME', ''))

Hope this helps somebody :)

You can also set headers for the entire session   TOKEN    abcd0123  HEADERS     Authorization    token     format TOKEN    with requests Session   as s       s headers update HEADERS      resp   s get  http   example com

In python      lt MY TOKEN gt      is equivalent to    lt MY TOKEN gt     And requests interprets    TOK     lt MY TOKEN gt      As you wanting requests to use Basic Authentication and craft an authorization header like so    VE9LOjxNWV9UT0tFTj4K    Which is the base64 representation of  TOK  lt MY TOKEN gt    To pass your own header you pass in a dictionary like so   r   requests get   lt MY URI gt    headers   Authorization    TOK  lt MY TOKEN gt

Requests natively supports basic auth only with user-pass params  not with tokens   You could  if you wanted  add the following class to have requests support token based basic authentication   import requests from base64 import b64encode  class BasicAuthToken requests auth AuthBase       def   init   self  token           self token   token     def   call   self  r           authstr    Basic     b64encode   token     self token  encode  utf-8    decode  utf-8           r headers  Authorization     authstr         return r   Then  to use it run the following request    r   requests get url  auth BasicAuthToken api token     An alternative would be to formulate a custom header instead  just as was suggested by other users here
