Trying to use API via Python, getting blank result

Ok, so I have tried this many ways, via URL directly, using username and password or API hash, and every time I try, I get a blank result.

Here is the latest attempt to get it to work:

Code: Select all

import urllib2
import json
import os

vst_url = "https://myserver.com:8083/api/"
vst_hash = "my_really_long_hash_api_key"
vst_cmd = "v-list-users"

request = urllib2.Request(vst_url, headers={"hash":vst_hash, "cmd":vst_cmd, "returncode":"yes", "arg1":"json"})
result = json.load(urllib2.urlopen(request))
print result
I have tried it other ways and gotten nothing in return. Do you have to enable API? Is there a log I can check to see what error there was if there is one? (normally it is displayed on the screen, but nothing is in this case)

The odd thing... It works in PHP... but I cannot seem to emulate it in Python... anyone had any success?

Ok, for all those wondering how to do it

Code: Select all

import requests

url = "https://srv1.serversmadeeasy.com:8083/api/index.php"
user = "admin"
password = "your-password-goes-here"
cmd = "v-list-user"
arg1 = "username"
arg2 = "json"

data = {'user':user, 'password':password, 'cmd':cmd, 'arg1':arg1, 'arg2':arg2}

resp = requests.post(url, data)
print resp.json()
I tried 50 different ways, and all of a sudden, this one worked.
There is NO documentation on this, Time for a Blog post.
