Convert API authorization using Python
🚀 Authenticate and Access the Convert API Securely Using Python
In order to use Convert's API, developers would first need to connect and authorize themselves. The code below is an example of how this can be done using Python.
from datetime import datetime
import hmac
import hashlib
import base64
import requests
import binascii
ApplicationID = 'AAAAAAA'; #Replace it with your APP ID
ApplicationSecretKey = 'SSSSSSS'; #Replace it with your APP SECRET KEY
Expires = 30; # In seconds. Request lifetime. If your requests take much time, try to increase this value
RequestURL = "https://app.convert.com/api/v1/projects/";
RequestBody = '';
ExpiresTimestamp = int(datetime.now(tz=None).timestamp()) + Expires;
SignString = ApplicationID + "\n" + str(ExpiresTimestamp) + "\n" +RequestURL + "\n" +RequestBody;
message = bytes(SignString, 'utf-8')
secret = bytes(ApplicationSecretKey, 'utf-8')
signature = str(binascii.hexlify(hmac.new(secret, message, digestmod=hashlib.sha256).digest()),'ascii')
Authorization = "Convert-HMAC-SHA256 Signature=" + signature;
headers={"Expires": ExpiresTimestamp, "Convert-Authorization": Authorization, "Convert-Application-ID": ApplicationID}
r = requests.get(RequestURL,headers=headers)
print(r.json())
