How to authenticate to Bluemix CF API using Python

Question

Let me preface by saying I'm probably overlooking something simple.

I'm attempting to script some manipulation of my Bluemix account with Python and the CF API.

First get to https://api.ng.bluemix.net/info to get the authorization_endpoint, https://login.ng.bluemix.net/UAALoginServerWAR/

response = requests.get('https://api.ng.bluemix.net/info')

Then post to authorization_endpoint to get oauth token.

results = response.json()
auth_endpoint = results['authorization_endpoint'] + 'oauth/token?grant_type=password&client=cf'
http_payload = {
    'username': id,
    'password': pw,
    'client_id': 'cf'
    }
auth = ('cf', '')
response = requests.post(auth_endpoint, data=http_payload, auth=auth)

Then use the returned oauth token to call the CF API, in this case https://api.ng.bluemix.net/v2/organizations.

results = response.json()
url = 'https://api.ng.bluemix.net/v2/organizations'
authorization = results['token_type'] + ' ' + results['access_token']
http_headers = {
    'accept': 'application/json',
    'content-type': 'application/json',
    'authorization': authorization
    }
response = requests.get(url, headers=http_headers)

But this results in a 404, {"description": "Unknown request", "error_code": "CF-NotFound", "code": 10000}. Is this the right approach? What am I overlooking?

Answer 1

This works for me:

id = 'changeme'
pw = 'changeme'

import json
import urllib
import requests

response = requests.get('https://api.ng.bluemix.net/info')
results = response.json()
auth_endpoint = results['authorization_endpoint'] + '/oauth/token'

data = 'grant_type=password&username={0}&password={1}'.format(id, pw)
auth = ('cf', '')
headers = {
    'accept': 'application/json',
    'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8'
    }
response = requests.post(auth_endpoint, data=data, headers=headers, auth=auth)

results = response.json()
url = 'https://api.ng.bluemix.net/v2/organizations'
authorization = results['token_type'] + ' ' + results['access_token']
http_headers = {
    'accept': 'application/json',
    'content-type': 'application/json',
    'authorization': authorization
    }
response = requests.get(url, headers=http_headers)

print(response.text)

Returns:

{
  "total_results": 6,
  "total_pages": 1,
  "prev_url": null,
  "next_url": null,
  "resources": [

}
