Question

I am trying to get an API query into python. The command line

g

Answer 1

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