Python Cannot Request A Token for DSS

ram5s

For REST API in Python for Mac, unable to get a response for request token.
I have tried both POST and GET methods.

Error shown is:
,"message":"Resource not found for the segment 'RequestToken HTTP'."}}

Below is the code:

import requests

URL="https://selectapi.datascope.refinitiv.com/RestApi/v1/Authentication/RequestToken HTTP/1.1"

headers={'Prefer': 'respond-async','Content-Type': 'application/json'}

params = {'Username': 'Added_Username', 'Password': 'Added_password'}

response=requests.get(URL, params=params,headers=headers).text

Hi @ram5s

Using Python requests , the request should look like the below, I think it's just the use of the HTTP/1.1 that isn't expected:

import requests

url = "https://selectapi.datascope.refinitiv.com/RestApi/v1/Authentication/RequestToken"

payload = "{\r\n \"Credentials\": {\r\n \"Username\": \"<UserID>\",\r\n \"Password\": \"<Password>\"\r\n }\r\n}"

headers = {

'Prefer': 'respond-async',

'Content-Type': 'application/json; odata=minimalmetadata'

}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

Hello @ram5s

While my colleague has provided a clear answer and example for you, you can find more information about the DSS REST API development from the API tutorials page

You can also refer to the Generate code for a REST API call using Postman in just a few clicks article which demonstrates how to use Postman to generate Python code from the DSS collection.

You can download the DSS REST Tutorials Postman collection and use it to generate Python code.
