Unable to use put method from python for environment API

[hemanth]

Hello,

I am unable to use put method in dynatrace from python requests module, My code is as follows, i am trying to update the credential vault entry it throws the below error,
{'error': {'code': 400, 'message': 'Syntax error near line 1 column 6'}}

Seems like there is an issue with ":"

def put_authtoken_in_dt(vault_id, session_token, name, description):
    url = "https://<host>/e/<env-id>/api/v2/credentials/"+ vault_id
    print(url)
    headers = {
        "accept": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        "Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        "Authorization": "Api-Token <token>"
    }
    data =  {"name": name,
             "id":vault_id,
             "description":description,
             "ownerAccessOnly":"false",
             "type":"TOKEN",
             "token":session_token
             }

    try:
        response = requests.put(url, headers=headers, data=data ,verify=False)
        print(response.request.body)
        if response.status_code < 400:
            print(response.json())
            return True
        else:
            print(response.json())
            return False
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        return False

Please let me if i am doing something wrong in request headers.

Thanks

Hi!

Why you put in authorization  

"Api-Token <token>"

token in <> brackets. I don't know if this is a case but maybe try:

DT_API_TOKEN=""

"Authorization": "Api-Token " + DT_API_TOKEN

Have a nice day!

IMHO the error suggests it's a payload issue, rather than authorization issue.

If I were you, I'd try with the other method to create a payload object. For example:

Spoiler

data = { "name": name, 
"id":vault_id, 
"description":description,
"ownerAccessOnly":"false",
"type":"TOKEN",
"token":session_token
}

Then convert the payload to JSON format

Spoiler

json_payload = json.dumps(payload)

And then send the PUT request with the JSON payload

Spoiler

response = requests.put(url, data=json_payload, headers=headers)
