c:\... Syntax

[buran]

I have it working with two other languages. But not Python.

Do you get any error? Because above is not very helpful to diagnose the problem.

And looking at the URL - is it really retrieveWetails or this is typo (W instead of D)?

I cant really give details out,

We don't need/want your credentials, but if it is public API we can have a look at the docs (if you share details).

Is it possible to turn the ssl verification off?
Thanks,

Is it possible to turn the ssl verification off?

how should we know? We know next to nothing about that API. You share nothing about it (I don't mean you to share your credentials). We don't even know is it some internal API or public API.

import requests
import base64
# Set user and password
UserName = "Xxxxxx"
Password = "Xxxxxx"
# Encode the username and password here
#message = UserName+":"+Password
message = f'{UserName}:{Password}'
print(message)
message_bytes = message.encode('ascii')
print(message_bytes)
base64_bytes = base64.b64encode(message_bytes).decode()
print(base64_bytes)

x = requests.get('https://api.xxx.corporate.xxxx.internal:443/xxxx/xxxxx/Details?RequestNo=000002729077",headers={"Authorization": f"Basic {base64_bytes}"}')

print(x.text)

ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate (_ssl.c:1076)

Is it possible to turn the ssl verification off?

try pass verify=False

from the docs:

Requests can also ignore verifying the SSL certificate if you set verify to False:

>>> requests.get('https://kennethreitz.org', verify=False)
<Response [200]>

Note that when verify is set to False, requests will accept any TLS certificate presented by the server, and will ignore hostname mismatches and/or expired certificates, which will make your application vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. Setting verify to False may be useful during local development or testing.

earlier, I was think about something else...

Hi, I have tried a number of syntax combinations.
I am hoping there is one still remaining that I have not.
Surely it shouldn't be this difficult.
I have searched the web and not found anything that works.

with verify=r'c:\Xxxx\Xxxxxxxxxx\Desktop\DEV236.cer'
I get an error as below
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
and an arrow appears below the r of cer.
Thanks,

[buran]

can you show your full code in python tags, as well as the full traceback you get (in error tags).

This is the best copy I can post

Actually ^ under '
The "Swagger Pet Store" works

SyntaxError is mostly basic errors that should be easier to spot👀
Here missing " and } on line 17,you could just have copied my code that dos not has this error.

import requests
import base64
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
myobj=""
# Set user and password
UserName = "User"
Password = "Password"
# Encode the username and password here
#message = UserName+":"+Password
message = f'{UserName}:{Password}'
print(message)
message_bytes = message.encode('ascii')
print(message_bytes)
base64_bytes = base64.b64encode(message_bytes).decode()
print(base64_bytes)
#r = requests.get('https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/pet/findByStatus?status=sold')
r = requests.post('https://xxx.xxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxxx:569/xxxx/xxxx/Details?workRequestNo=000002729055', headers={"Authorization": f"Basic {base64_bytes}"}, verify=r'c:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\DEV236New.cer')

print(r)
print(r.text)
