Python Rest API, how to sign in to retieve data-CodePudding

I am trying to access a dataset from python available

In the API documentation, there is no information on how to sign in using username and password via script. Upon manually entering the API URL into a browser

https://ev.caltech.edu/api/v1/sessions/caltech/ts

I have to manually enter the username: DEMO_TOKEN and password: <blank> and click on sign in to get the JSON response from the server.

How do I programmatically do that in python?

Below is my snippet which doesn't work

import requests
api_url = "https://ev.caltech.edu/api/v1/sessions/caltech/ts"
response = requests.get(api_url)

response.json()

CodePudding user response：

Works for me, when I do this:

import requests
user = "DEMO_TOKEN"
passwd = ""
api_url = "https://ev.caltech.edu/api/v1/sessions/caltech/ts"
response = requests.get(api_url, auth=(user,passwd))
if response.status_code == 200:
    print(response.json())

Please be warned, the json is HUGE.
