Python requests library how to pass Authorization header with single token

Question

I have a request URI and a token. If I use:

curl -s \"\" -H \"Authorization: TOK:\"

etc., I get a 200 and vie

Answer 1

In python:

('')

is equivalent to

''

And requests interprets

('TOK', '')

As you wanting requests to use Basic Authentication and craft an authorization header like so:

'VE9LOjxNWV9UT0tFTj4K'

Which is the base64 representation of 'TOK:'

To pass your own header you pass in a dictionary like so:

r = requests.get('', headers={'Authorization': 'TOK:'})
