splunk - python - requests.post Authentication error

vamsigurram
Path Finder

The below code is throwing error.

{"messages":[{"type":"WARN","text":"call not properly authenticated"}]}

 

r = requests.get(base_url+"/servicesNS/admin/search/auth/login", data={'username':username,'password':password}, verify=False)

    sessionkey = minidom.parseString(r.text).getElementsByTagName('sessionKey')[0].firstChild.nodeValue
    print ("Session Key:", sessionkey)
 
Output:
Session Key: im0t_JBlWSnQnaWwFCj016^q_QEYutHbpQMBGLEHlxOesSAVh6iQ0X8Y4tcoQR5a4lwr3I2ayDgBVNx0412THyMkON0iO6^Af_2DCYS1F8Eseo
 
I see Session Key here. No issues so far.
 
But when I pass the above session key, to the below requests.post, I see the error.
What am I doing wrong here?
    
url = base_url + "/services/search/jobs?output_mode=json"
    headers = {
    "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",    
    "Authorization": "Splunk %s" % sessionkey,           
    }
    payload = {
        "search": "|rest /servicesNS/%s/search/directory" % kouser,
        "count": 0
    }
    r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload, verify = False)
    print(r.text)
 
{"messages":[{"type":"WARN","text":"call not properly authenticated"}]}
 
 
Is there anything wrong here?
