Supabase-Py: TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'headers' when making client

Question

I have been using supabase in python without problem but today I got an error when I went to create my client. Code is below, all help would be great. Code

from supabase import create_client, Client
supabaseUrl = 'REDACTED'
supabaseKey = 'REDACTED'
supabase = create_client(supabaseUrl, supabaseKey)
path_data = supabase.table('otto').select('*').execute()
print(path_data)

My Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "andrew_main.py", line 7, in <module>
    supabase: Client = create_client(supabase_url=supabaseUrl, supabase_key=supabaseKey)
  File "/home/garb/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/supabase/client.py", line 226, in create_client
    return Client(supabase_url=supabase_url, supabase_key=supabase_key, **options)
  File "/home/garb/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/supabase/client.py", line 70, in __init__

  File "/home/garb/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/supabase/client.py", line 185, in _init_postgrest_client
    client = PostgrestClient(rest_url, headers=headers)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'headers'

Answer 1

You are using outdated versions of postgrest-py (< 0.5.0) and supabase (< 0.1.1).

The error is likely caused by accidentally downgrading postgrest-py.

You should be able to fix this by running pip install -U supabase, which upgrades supabase (currently 0.5.3) and installs the compatible version of postgrest-py (currently 0.9.2).
_{Omit the -U flag if you only want to install the compatible version of postgrest-py without upgrading supabase.}

• supabase-community/postgrest-py@1737e69 (postgrest-py 0.5.0) started to accept headers in PostgrestClient __init__.
• supabase-community/supabase-py@04bf6ef (supabase 0.3.0, depends on postgrest-py<0.9.0 and >=0.8.0) started to pass headers when instantiating PostgrestClient.
• supabase-community/supabase-py@66db7d3 (supabase 0.1.1) switched to use SyncPostgrestClient; PostgrestClient was deprecated in postgrest-py 0.6.0.
