I have generated a personal access token from the Azure Devops user interface but am unable to use this to make requests against the Devops API.
I have tried many different header fields, but I am always redirected to the log in page as though I hadn't authenticated.
token = #Token generated on Devops project page
token_bytes = token.encode('utf-8')
token64 = base64.b64encode(token_bytes)
authorization_string = "basic " + str(token64)
repo_endpoint_url = "https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories?api-version=5.1".format(organization=organization, project=project)
headers = {"Content-Type" : "application/json", "Authorization" : authorization_string}
response = requests.get(repo_endpoint_url, headers)
response is always 203 with login page HTML. This is what I'd expect to see if I didn't have an access token in the header.
I have tried, "Bearer" instead of "basic", I have tried adding {username}:{token}, and many other little tweaks.
What am I doing wrong?
I just scrapbooked following code which worked for me:
import requests
import base64
repo_endpoint_url = "https://dev.azure.com/<organization>/<project>/_apis/git/repositories?api-version=5.1"
username = "" # This can be an arbitrary value or you can just let it empty
password = "<your-password-here>"
userpass = username + ":" + password
b64 = base64.b64encode(userpass.encode()).decode()
headers = {"Authorization" : "Basic %s" % b64}
response = requests.get(repo_endpoint_url, headers=headers)
print(response.status_code) # Expect 200
