Atlassian API Token doesn't work in python script but it works in curl

[Petar Dimovski]

Hello Everyone, 

I created an access token in the atlassian web application and it works when I use curl like this:

curl --user "petar.dimovski@etxcapital.com:TOKEN https://etxcapital.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content&type=page

but when I ping the api from a python script I get the following response:

{"message":"Current user not permitted to use Confluence","statusCode":403}

What should I do in order to make it work like curl does?

Here's the python script:

import os
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

confluence_api_url ="https://etxcapital.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api"

def get_auth_details():
    return HTTPBasicAuth(os.getenv("username"), os.getenv('token'))


def get_pages(label=None):
    params = {
        'type':'page',
        # 'start':0,
        # 'limit':500
    }
    if label:
        params["label"] = label

    resp = requests.get(f"{confluence_api_url}/content/search.json",
                        auth=get_auth_details(),
                        params=params)

    return resp.json()
