Request to /api/users/tokens/ using Python not returning results

[dan-tabarca]

I've been trying to get the already created tokens using "https://mynetbox/api/users/tokens/", but I get the following error:
{"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."}
The syntax that I used is:
token = requests.get("https://mynetbox/api/users/tokens/", data={"username": <username>, "password": <password>})
If I am logged in UI with the same username and password in Netbox and access that link, I get the results. Any hints of what's wrong would be highly appreciated.
Netbox version that I am using is v3.3.5.

Thank you!

Access to /api paths requires either an Authorization: Token $value or an active session cookie, there is no login form to submit username, password fields to. The workflow is for a human to copy/paste the token from the web UI into somewhere your API client can access it, a config file, environment variable, hardcoded into the script, etc. then the API client includes the "Authorization: Token $token_value" header in every request which will identify and authorize the request. the /api/users/token API endpoint is provided if you need an API client to be privileged to read tokens for other accounts or do account management, eg an API proxy/broker that can behave with the privileges of another authenticated user by using a privileged API account to read the token for another user, then perform further requests _as_ _that_ _user_ to be constrained by roles, groups, permissions in Netbox. — Mark Tinberg ***@***.***> Division of Information Technology-Network Services University of Wisconsin-Madison

Use json instead of data, otherwise you need to set the required headers yourself.

Update: and you need to use .post(), not .get().
