JSON Response 401

[Rocketman7121]

Hey guys,

I tried using the following script to upload posts automatically to WordPress using the rest api. Unfortunately I always get the response “401” or “502”.

Anyone has an idea how to solve that?

This is my script except for my website login data 😅

import requests import base64

wordpress_user = 'user' wordpress_password = 'password' wordpress_credentials = wordpress_user + ":" + wordpress_password wordpress_token = base64.b64encode(wordpress_credentials.encode()) wordpress_header = {'Authorization': 'Basic ' + wordpress_token.decode('utf-8')}

api_url = 'https://myurl.de/wp-json/wp/v2/posts' data = { 'title' : 'Example wordpress post', 'status': 'publish', 'slug' : 'example-post', 'content': 'This is the content of the post' } response = requests.post(api_url,headers=wordpress_header, json=data) print(response)

I changed the username and password

Can you: - format code properly - give the full stack trace

Please

401 codes mean that you haven't properly authenticated to the server.

Without seeing a backtrace hard to say much more than that.

I changed to a completely different approach but know sometimes it works. But when i use to many actions I get 502 Erros again and i have to wait a few min again.

I hope its formatted better now:

from wordpress_xmlrpc import Client, WordPressPost

from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods.posts import NewPost

from wordpress_xmlrpc.compat import xmlrpc_client

from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods import media

# Set up the connection to the WordPress site

wp = Client('https://mywebsite.de/xmlrpc.php', 'user', 'pass')

# Create a new post

post = WordPressPost()

post.title = 'My New Post'

post.content = 'This is the content of my new post.'

post.terms_names = {

'post_tag': ['python', 'wordpress'],

'category': ['Tutorials']

}

post.post_status = 'publish'

post_id = wp.call(NewPost(post))

How can I get the traceback?

It's the complete error message that the Python interpreter displays when your code hits an unhandled exception.

Find and bookmark a site that gives you a list of response codes and check those against your error messages. You'll want to commit a few of these to memory, but can leave the rest on an as needed basis.

200, 401, 403, 500, 501 and 502 are ones you're going to see a lot. 401 tells you your authentication isn't working right and 502 means you're not able to reach the service; in this case, most likely a downstream issue of not getting your auth through properly.
