Api request 403

[Chasovskikh Kirill]

Hi!

I have admin-permissions. I created an API-token and trying to get response for the request:

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

auth = HTTPBasicAuth("login", "token")

base_url = "https://URL.com"

url = f"{base_url}/rest/api/2/serverInfo"

headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, auth=auth)

if response.status_code == 200:
info = response.json()
print(info)
else:
print(f"Error. Code: {response.status_code}")

 but this request returns me code: 403. 

Why my request doesn't work?

The problem was in authorization method. 

Working code: 

import requests

base_url = "https://URL.com"

url = f"{base_url}/rest/api/2/serverInfo"

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer tokenname"}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

if response.status_code == 200:
info = response.json()
print(info)
else:
print(f"Error. Code: {response.status_code}")
