Ingesting data from the API

[CrazyHarry]

I need some help getting a working API request to ingest data into Dynatrace

Here is the CURL command.   I just need to modify this so I can code it in Python.    

curl --silent -kX "POST" https://apm-qa.pncint.net/e/xxxxx/api/v2/metrics/ingest -H "accept: */*" -H "Authorization: Api-Token dt0c01.____" -H "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8" -d 'BDP.Service_BDP_GF1.Spark_VIP_P3.Duration,mnemonic=MNE 0.00'

This is new to me, so this could be a really stupid question, but I'm totally lost.

Hi,

Which output are you getting when you execute it?

Best regards

As it turns out, my API-Token doesn't have access to the ingest API.    

Thanks for your response.

I suggest looking at our Python API client: https://github.com/dynatrace-oss/api-client-python

It already implements the details of interacting with the API and includes support for metric ingestion.
