REST API document

---------------------------------------------------------------
curl --location --request POST 'https://zaya.io/api/v1/links' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {api_key}' \
--data-urlencode 'url={url}'
-----------------------------------------------------------------

My Code

import requests
api="https://zaya.io/api/v1/links"
API_KEY = "################################################"
data = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)"
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer '   API_KEY}
r = requests.get(api, data=data, headers=headers)
print(response.text)

The error I face:

{"message":"You are not logged in.","status":403} 

CodePudding user response：

• Mistake 1 You are doing a GET where the document asks you to send a POST.
• Mistake 2 The data must be form URL encoded, must be key-value pairs
• Mistake 3 You must set the proper Content-Type header
• Bigger mistake Do not post your API key on public forums.

The code below works fine, with the above corrections.

import requests

api = "https://zaya.io/api/v1/links"

# Never reveal your API key
API_KEY = "##########################################################"

# Data is URL Form encoded, so it must be key-value pair
data = {"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)"}

# Add proper headers
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer '   API_KEY, 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

# Most important. CURL says POST, you did GET 
r = requests.post(api, data=data, headers=headers)
print(r.text)
# Gives proper response
