Python script which access GitLab works on Windows but returns 'Project Not Found' on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) - Used python requests - python-3.x

Question

I have a python script which does a GET request to GitLab and stores the data from the response in an excel file using tablib library.
This script works fine in Windows when I execute it using python3.
I have tried to execute the same script in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) I have enabled and the script fails.
The output when I execute with python3 script.py in WSL is the following:
RESPONSE {"message":"404 Project Not Found"}
When I execute from Windows using python .\gitlab.py where python is python3:
RESPONSE [{"id":567,"iid":22}, {"id":10,"iid":3}]
I think the problem could be related to the GET api call I am doing because in WSL it returns Project Not Found.
I executed that request using curl in WSL to see if the unix in general has this issue, but I get back the expected response instead of the not found response. This was the request:
curl -X GET 'https://URL/api/v4/projects/server%2Fproducts%2FPROJECT/issues?per_page=100' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'PRIVATE-TOKEN: TOKEN' --insecure
Why is python failing in unix using Python if unix is able to execute the get request using curl? Should I enable/disable something in the request perhaps?
This is the request I am doing in my python script:
def get_items():
url = "https://URL/api/v4/projects/server%2Fproducts%2FPROJECT/issues"
payload = {}
querystring = {"state": "closed", "per_page": "100"}
headers = {
'Content-Type': "application/json",
'PRIVATE-TOKEN': os.environ.get("GITLAB_KEY") # enviromental variable added in windows
}
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)
response = requests.request(
"GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload, params=querystring, verify=False)
print("RESPONSE " + response.text)
return json.loads(response.text)
UPDATE:
I have tried using the project id as well instead of the path but it didn't work

Answer 1

REF: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/projects.html#get-single-project
GET /projects/:id
Change this:
url = "https://URL/api/v4/projects/server%2Fproducts%2FPROJECT/issues"
To
projectId = 1234 # or whatever your project id is ... Project Page, Settings -> General
url = "https://URL/api/v4/projects/" + projectId + "/issues"

Answer 2

Based on an answer I got in the post I did in Reddit, I found the problem.
In the python script, I am using an environmental variable which is not accessible in that way ( os.environ.get("GITLAB_KEY") ) from the WSL.
For now, I have replaced it with the hard-coded value just to check that this was really the issue. The script now works as expected.
I will find a way to access the env var again now that I know what the problem was.
