401 Unauthorized

[borisrev]

Using the example Python snippet:

bibcodes="bibcode\n1907AN....174...59.\n1908PA.....16..445.\n1989LNP...334..242S"
r = requests.post('https://api.adsabs.harvard.edu/v1/search/bigquery', 
       params={'q':'*:*', 'wt':'json', 'fq':'{!bitset}', 'fl':'bibcode'}, 
       headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer: mytokenhere'},
       data=bibcodes)

I get a 401 unathorized response. I can do a curl request with the same token, and it works fine.

Thanks for all the great work and in advance for any help.

Hi Boris, It's a problem of our documentation, sorry about that. First, the 'q' parameter shouldn't be empty, it needs to contain a valid query - you can use '*:*' - and finally, there is an extra space in the Authorization header. Please see below for an example: In [7]: r = requests.post('https://api.adsabs.harvard.edu/v1/search/bigquery ', ...: params={'q':'*:*', 'wt':'json', 'fq':'{!bitset}', 'fl':'bibcode'}, ...: headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer:' + token}, ...: data=bibcodes) In [8]: r.status_code Out[8]: 200 In [9]: r = requests.post('https://api.adsabs.harvard.edu/v1/search/bigquery ', ...: params={'q':'*:*', 'wt':'json', 'fq':'{!bitset}', 'fl':'bibcode'}, ...: headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer: ' + token}, ...: data=bibcodes) In [10]: r.status_code Out[10]: 401 I'll fix the documentation. Thanks! Roman
