How to use Ticket for getting response from the api

akash251998

I have a python code and using that python code i wanted to access: http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/api/workflow-instances/

I am following one link https://docs.alfresco.com/5.2/concepts/dev-api-by-language-alf-rest-auth-with-repo.html where its mentioned that you need a ticket after that encode that ticket and use it to get the access.

Using the above link i am able to get Ticket and have encoded it but how i can use the ticket so that i can access that link using my python code.

Actually the url will give a json response and my requirement is to copy that json response and save it to my local system.

But while accessing the url http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/api/workflow-instances/ its giving 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/api/workflow-instances/

Now i have the  ticket so what changes i should do in the url or using the ticket so that i can get access to that page and save the json content .

Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Thanks @EddieMay  for again giving quick response as expected from you always.

I resolved that issue by myself only .

I wrote a python code, earlier it was giving 401 Unauthorized file error .. but i used authentication while accessing the url and it works fine.

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
from urllib.error import HTTPError

try:

response = requests.get('http://your_host:8080/alfresco/service/api/workflow-instances?state=Completed', auth=HTTPBasicAuth('your_username', 'your_password'))
response.raise_for_status()
# access JSOn content
jsonResponse = response.json()
print("Entire JSON response")
print(jsonResponse)

except HTTPError as http_err:
print(f'HTTP error occurred: {http_err}')

Note:The code is compatible with python version >=3
