401 error from using bearer token right after completing code flow in onenote

I checked here One Note Api rejects Bearer Token, Error 401. and my scopes are good.

For step 2 of code flow my "Scopes" say office.onenote office.onenote_create office.onenote_update_by_app office.onenote_update wl.offline_access when receiving the access_token

so I take the access_token and do a requests

headers={"Authorization" : "Bearer " + x['access_token'], 'Accept': 'application/json'}
r=requests.get( url=url,data = headers)

r.status_code=401

I earlier used the same requests command for a Token flow to get the access_token and it worked fine.

Solution

  • You should use the headers argument to set the headers : 

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

    The data argument is used to send post data in post requests.
