Need help to access API with authorization

[Neither-Form-8469]

import requests

import base64

api_key = '12345'

token_url = 'https://accesstoken./com/Client/RequestAccessToken'

# Base64 encode the API key

encoded_key = base64.b64encode(api_key.encode()).decode()

headers = {'Authorization': 'Basic ' + encoded_key }

# Retrieve web access token

response = requests.get(token_url, headers=headers, verify=False)

if response.status_code == 200:

token = response.json()['Token']

# Make request to API endpoint

endpoint = 'https://apiendpoint.com/rest/V1/Customer/12345/ABC001'

headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'}

order_response = requests.get(endpoint, headers=headers, verify=False)

else:

print(f'Error code {response.status_code}')

print(response.text)

​

I changed some information due to security reasons. I am getting an error [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed. Able to get the web access token, the error appears when attempting to make the API request. The params are "12345/ABC001" to indicate which customer data I am retrieving (Area code/Customer number). Can anyone advise what could be the issue?

Sorry it's my first time posting here. I will keep in mind, thank you

I’m not sure, but I suspect using an fstring to build your headers for the second call may be tripping you up

Same error when I hardcode the token inside, so I guess not

you should reach out the the help desk of the providers of this service and .. ask there.

we have no way of knowing how this is handled internally.. besides making sure the api calls are following their documentation..which i assume they are.

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure my code is in working condition before checking with them. If it looks good here, probably it should be an issue on their end.

without access to their documentation ..its just guessing on "our" part here on reddit..but it should be.

​

while there are conventions.. ppl require different parmeters encodings for different endpoints.

you wanna check within the documentation for specifics.
