python request with authentication (access_token)

The requests package has a very nice API for HTTP requests, adding a custom header works like this (source: official docs):

>>> import requests
>>> response = requests.get(
... 'https://website.example/id', headers={'Authorization': 'access_token myToken'})

If you don't want to use an external dependency, the same thing using urllib2 of the standard library looks like this (source: the missing manual):

>>> import urllib2
>>> response = urllib2.urlopen(
... urllib2.Request('https://website.example/id', headers={'Authorization': 'access_token myToken'})

import requests

BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:8080/v3/getPlan'
token = "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImR"

headers = {'Authorization': "Bearer {}".format(token)}
auth_response = requests.get(BASE_URL, headers=headers)

print(auth_response.json())

Output :

{
"plans": [
    {
        "field": false,
        "description": "plan 12",
        "enabled": true
    }
  ]
}

I had the same problem when trying to use a token with Github.

The only syntax that has worked for me with Python 3 is:

import requests

myToken = '<token>'
myUrl = '<website>'
head = {'Authorization': 'token {}'.format(myToken)}
response = requests.get(myUrl, headers=head)

>>> import requests
>>> response = requests.get('https://website.com/id', headers={'Authorization': 'access_token myToken'})

If the above doesnt work , try this:

>>> import requests
>>> response = requests.get('https://api.buildkite.com/v2/organizations/orgName/pipelines/pipelineName/builds/1230', headers={ 'Authorization': 'Bearer <your_token>' })
>>> print response.json()
