Hi @madhan baskar 

I don't use Python, I use C#, and I still use base64 encoded username and password, but ...

The format I use seems different, I have

newRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64Credentials)

and for the Tempo API, where I do use a bearer token, the format is

newRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + "xxxxxxxxxx")

So the point I'm making is that both mine start with the word Authorization which you don't have - try to add it in.

P.S. You should remove (mask) your bearer token and company URL - other people could get use those details
