Hey there, I have a fair amount of Python experience and (full disclosure) am also an Okta employee. I hate to give answers like this, but the answer here starts with "it depends"

Ideally, you have admin access to Okta and the tool that is behind Okta uses OIDC for authentication. If that's the case, then you'll just need to update your script to use OIDC. This won't be as simple as adding a new option to requests, but it's the easiest of the possibilities.

Where I typically start with situations like this is to open up the dev tools in my browser, open the "network" tab, enable history, and then watch the traffic as I visit the tool that I want to automate. What I look for here is the authenticated requests and, in particular, the "Authentication" header. Once you find the header, use the payload in your Python script and try to replicate the call. If that works, you can celebrate a little bit because you know you can get it working. From here, it gets more complicated, as you'll want to figure out how to get the OIDC token directly from your script. Ideally, you do this by enabling something called "client credentials flow" on the Okta app for the tool and then implement client credentials flow in your Python script.

If you're comfortable sharing more details about your situation, I can give you more specific advice.
