Can't get issue count when redmine requires authentication
Closed this issue · 2 comments
This is looking really promising, but the redmine issue downloader isn't working for me - I just get a 403 error.
I've found this is because the issue count is downloaded using urllib2 rather than the Redmine client, and the script doesn't set any credentials for this request. Our redmine seems to requires authentication for the API, so this doesn't work.
I'm not sure the best way to set this authentication for the request, or indeed why this is done differently to the other Redmine requests which seem to be working OK.
Try the code snippet below after changing:
- project_id
- redmine_api_key
- redmine server url (right now it's
redmine.hmdc.harvard.edu)
If "Alternative 1" works, then the latest commit to the repository should work. (I didn't have an "auth required" redmine project to test with.)
from __future__ import print_function
import requests
project_id = 'dvn'
redmine_api_key = 'some-key'
url = 'https://redmine.hmdc.harvard.edu/issues.json?project_id=%s&limit=1' % project_id
#---------------------
# Alternative 1
#---------------------
# note: as per API docs, the password isn't actually checked
auth = (redmine_api_key, 'random-pw') # if API key used, leave "random-pw" as is
r = requests.get(url, auth=auth)
print (r.text)
print (r.status_code)
data = r.json()
print (data['total_count'])
#---------------------
# Alternative 2
#---------------------
url2 = '%s&key=%s' % (url, redmine_api_key)
r = requests.get(url2)
print (r.text)
print (r.status_code)
data = r.json()
print (data['total_count'])/cc @acoulton
