I'm trying to get the list of issues on a private repository using bitbucket's API.
I have confirmed that HTTP Basic authentication works with hurl, but I am unable to authenticate in Python. Adapting the code from this tutorial, I have written the following script.
import cookielib
import urllib2
class API():
api_url = 'http://api.bitbucket.org/1.0/'
def __init__(self, username, password):
self._opener = self._create_opener(username, password)
def _create_opener(self, username, password):
cj = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()
cookie_handler = urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj)
password_manager = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
password_manager.add_password(None, self.api_url, username, password)
auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_manager)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(cookie_handler, auth_handler)
return opener
def get_issues(self, username, repository):
query_url = self.api_url + 'repositories/%s/%s/issues/' % (username, repository)
try:
handler = self._opener.open(query_url)
except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
print e.headers
raise e
return handler.read()
api = API(username='my_username', password='XXXXXXXX')
api.get_issues('my_username', 'my_repository') results in:
>>>

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/USERS/personal/bitbucket-burndown/bitbucket-api.py", line 29, in <module>
print api.get_issues('my_username', 'my_repository')
File "C:/USERS/personal/bitbucket-burndown/bitbucket-api.py", line 25, in get_issues
raise e
HTTPError: HTTP Error 401: UNAUTHORIZED
api.get_issues('jespern', 'bitbucket') works like a charm.
What's wrong with my code?
