Python -Rest API to fetch the bearer - Requests module-CodePudding

I have an API, where I need to get the bearer token. When I use 'Postman' application, I get the bearer token correctly. I have written below python code for the same but I get below errors. Please help. I need to send username and password in the body as a form data.

import requests

url = "https://322.286.24.01/ach/ach_api/login"

payload={'username': 'test',
'password': 'test12'}

response = requests.post( url,data=payload)

print(response.text)

ERROR:

CodePudding user response：

The error is because requests is trying to check for the ca cert, try the following:

response = requests.post(url, data=payload, verify=False)

Or, if you have a ca.crt somewhere, usually pem format, you can try:

response = requests.post(url, data=payload, verify='/path/to/pem')

Also the IP address looks funny, although since the client connects I suspect you just changed that to anonymise your post?
