How can I get the data from an API using Python Request Post?-CodePudding

I'm trying to retrive some data from apptopia but I'm finding it pretty tricky (due to my lack of experience). In their authentication page: https://dev.apptopia.com/#authentication there are some instructions, but I just can't make it work.

I need a client and a secret (these bellow are not mine but the ones on the company's site)

client: JFqXPDhiLuvY
secret: L2nerprCksacBoFzUqtfHz8v

And I must use those information in order to obtain a Session token via HTTPS POST request:

curl -X "POST" "https://integrations.apptopia.com/api/login" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  --data-urlencode "client=<client>" \
  --data-urlencode "secret=<secret>"

I just don't know how to do it. I tried using the answen on this post: Python Request Post with param data but it didn't work. Could someone help me please? Thanks!

CodePudding user response：

Did you try passing credentials as data in your request?

import requests

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
}

data = {
    'client':your_client,
    'secret':your_secret'
}

response = requests.post('https://integrations.apptopia.com/api/login', headers=headers, data=data)
