How to store and retrieve password for alert python script?

I need to call a 3rd party Rest API in alert action python script. I am looking for a way to store and retrieve user name and password for the 3rd party APIs. The app setup seems to work for script data inputs only - I tried and could not get it work for alerts. What is the best option here?

Not so fast! with Splunk 6.1.1, sessionKey must be urldecoded.

Did not realize the "sessionKey=" was a part of the sessionKey. Once removed the first 11 characters all worked. Thanks!

Thanks. Good to know someone already made it work. I followed the same script input doc. I will try to figure out what my problem is and update this.
