convert curl command to python - python-3.x

Question

I have below curl command
file_location='some/path/to/test.csv'
auth_token='my_api_token'
curl --insecure --request POST 'https://<ip_address>/eds/api/table/table_name/changes/addBulk?hasHeader=false' -H 'Csrf-Token: nocheck' -H 'AuthToken:'$auth_token'' -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' --form 'data=#'$file_location'
The data in csv is just multiple rows with 1 column, for example below:
row_1
row_2
row_3
The curl command works perfectly fine, I am trying to get python alternative for it, I tried below:
files = {'file': ('test.csv', open("some/path/to/test.csv", 'rb'), 'multipart/form-data')}
auth_token="<api token here>"
url="https://" + ip_address +"/eds/api/table/" + table_name + "/changes/addBulk?hasHeader=false"
headers = {
'Csrf-Token': 'nocheck',
'AuthToken': auth_token
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, files=files, verify=False)
Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

I noticed in your curl url you have "eds" before "/api/..." but in your python version you do not.
curl_url = "https://<ip_address>/eds/api/table/table_name/changes/addBulk?hasHeader=false"
python_url = "https://" + ip_address +"/api/table/" + table_name + "/changes/addBulk?hasHeader=false"
Also, in python 3 it is cleaner to use an f-string like this:
url = f"https://{ip_address}**/eds/**api/table/{table_name}/changes/addBulk?hasHeader=false"
Everything else looks right to me. In the future it may help to set a break point on the response to see if there is any additional information with the 400 http response.
EDIT:
Okay then, can you try modifying your header to be:
headers = {
'Csrf-Token': 'nocheck',
'AuthToken': auth_token,
'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'
}
Also edit your files to be:
files = {
'data': ('test.csv', open("some/path/to/test.csv", 'rb'), 'multipart/form-data')
}
Final code should be:
auth_token = "<api token here>"
files = {
'data': ('test.csv', open("some/path/to/test.csv", 'rb'), 'multipart/form-data')
}
url = f"https://{ip_address}/eds/api/table/{table_name}/changes/addBulk?hasHeader=false"
headers = {
'Csrf-Token': 'nocheck',
'AuthToken': auth_token
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, files=files, verify=False)
