How to access API data using authentication type 'API key' in Python?-CodePudding

I need to access Sparkpost data using their API. They do so via Authentication type = 'API key' instead of Basic Auth. I can do Basic Auth in Python using the code below.

import requests
import json
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

Response_API = requests.get('https://api.sparkpost.com/api/v1/metrics/sending-domain?from=2023-01-09T08:00&metrics=count_sent', auth = HTTPBasicAuth('key', 'abcd1234xyz_key'))
Data = Response_API.text
print(Data)

I know I can't use this piece of code to get the data from API using 'API key' type. can someone please tell me how to do this?

CodePudding user response：

You can pass it in headers:

headers = {
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'x-api-key': API_KEY
}

res = requests.get('https://api.sparkpost.com/api/v1/metrics/sending-domain?from=2023-01-09T08:00&metrics=count_sent', headers=headers)
print(res.text)
