main.py
pip install requests
21 chars
2 lines
  1. Import the requests library and pass your authentication credentials to generate the access token:
main.py
import requests

url = "https://example.com/api/auth"
payload = {
    "username": "your_username",
    "password": "your_password"
}
response = requests.post(url, data=payload)
access_token = response.json()["access_token"]
224 chars
10 lines
  1. Use the generated access token to make requests to the API:
main.py
url = "https://example.com/api/data"
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
data = response.json()

Note: be sure to keep your access token secure and use appropriate security measures to protect it.
