VRM API Error 401 - invalid token

Hi!

I am working on a small project where I try to connect to a Victron Venus GX using VRM API. My code (in Python) is the following:

import requests

import json

login_url = 'https://vrmapi.victronenergy.com/v2/auth/login'

username = "aaaaa@bbbb.com"

password = "123456"

login_string = '{"username":"'+username+'","password":"'+password+'"}'

response = requests.post(login_url, login_string)

token = json.loads(response.text)["token"]

idSite = "1111111111"

diags_url = 'https://vrmapi.victronenergy.com/v2/installations/'+idSite+'/diagnostics'

querystring = {"count":"1000"}

headers = {

"Content-Type": "application/json",

"x-authorization": "Bearer <"+token+">"

}

response = requests.request("GET",diags_url, headers=headers, params=querystring)

print(response.json)

print(response.text)

I try this script but the response I get is like:

{"success":false,"errors":"Token is invalid","error_code":"invalid_token"}

Any idea and/or can someone support me?

Many thanks in advance

Hi @JavierAG

There are quite a few existing posts regarding 401 API errors, some containing good info.

If you have already checked them, please include that so the existing solutions can be ruled out

Hi,

Thanks for the advice, I could find some errors on my code. I add the new code with some insteresting changes:

import requests

import json

loginUrl = "https://vrmapi.victronenergy.com/v2/auth/login"

username = "aaaaa@bbbb.com"

password = "123456"

loginString = "{\"username\":\""+username+"\",\"password\":\""+password+"\"}"

responseLogin = requests.post(loginUrl, loginString)

dataLoginRequest = json.loads(responseLogin.text)

token = dataLoginRequest["token"]

idUser = str(dataLoginRequest["idUser"])

instUrl = "https://vrmapi.victronenergy.com/v2/users/"+idUser+"/installations"

#querystring = {"count":"1"}

headersInst = {

"Content-Type": "application/json",

"x-authorization": "Bearer "+token

}

responseInst = requests.get(instUrl, headers=headersInst)

print(responseInst)

print(responseInst.text)

responseLogin = requests.post(loginUrl, loginString)

dataLoginRequest = json.loads(responseLogin.text)

token = dataLoginRequest["token"]

dataInst = json.loads(responseInst.text)

if dataInst["success"]:

for installation in dataInst["records"]:

idSite = str(installation["idSite"])

print(idSite)

diagsUrl = "https://vrmapi.victronenergy.com/v2/installations/"+idSite+"/diagnostics"

querystringDiag = {"count":"1000"}

headersDiag = {

"Content-Type": "application/json",

"x-authorization": "Bearer "+token

}

responseDiag = requests.request("GET",diagsUrl, headers=headersDiag, params=querystringDiag)

print(responseDiag)

print(responseDiag.text)

Many thanks for the advices again
