I need to use the urllib for this, not urllib2, urllib3, or Requests.
The curl equivalent...
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"title":"My New Title","content":"blahblah","excerpt":"blah"}' http://localhost/wp-json/wp/v2/posts --user 'user:xxx' ... and the following code work fine:
r = requests.post(url + '/wp-json/wp/v2/posts', auth=HTTPBasicAuth(username, password), data=json.dumps(params), headers={'content-type': 'application/json'}) if(not(r.ok)): raise Exception('failed with rc=' + r.status_code) return json.loads(r.text) But this fails:
params = { 'title': 'The Title', 'content': content, 'exerpt': 'blah' } postparam = json.dumps(params).encode('utf-8') password_mgr = urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm() password_mgr.add_password(None, url, username, password) handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr) opener = urllib.request.build_opener(handler) req = urllib.request.Request(url + '/wp-json/wp/v2/posts', method='POST', data=postparam) req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') r = opener.open(req) if(r.getcode() != 200): raise Exception('failed with rc=' + r.getcode()) Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "test_wp_api.py", line 10, in <module> rs = create(endpoint, "test") File "C:\...\wordpress.py", line 28, in create r = opener.open(req) File "c:\usr\Python37-32\lib\urllib\request.py", line 531, in open response = meth(req, response) File "c:\usr\Python37-32\lib\urllib\request.py", line 641, in http_response 'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs) File "c:\usr\Python37-32\lib\urllib\request.py", line 569, in error return self._call_chain(*args) File "c:\usr\Python37-32\lib\urllib\request.py", line 503, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "c:\usr\Python37-32\lib\urllib\request.py", line 649, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.full_url, code, msg, hdrs, fp) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized What's the cause, and how to fix it?
