How to fix error during data ingestion?

Hi, I am trying to upload data to Splunk with the help of a python script. I am getting a 401(unauthorized) error on running the code. But I provided the valid user credentials which I am using for logging into Splunk Enterprise. Can you help in figuring out the reason for this error? Here is a copy of the error occurred.

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\", line 912, in login
response = self.http.post(
File "E:\", line 1273, in post
return self.request(url, message)
File "E:\", line 1302, in request
raise HTTPError(response)
splunklib.binding.HTTPError: HTTP 401 Unauthorized -- Login failed

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\", line 263, in <module>
server = splunklib.client.connect(host=ARGS.splunk, username='', password='')
File "E:\", line 345, in connect
s.login()
File "E:\", line 925, in login
raise AuthenticationError("Login failed.", he)
splunklib.binding.AuthenticationError: Login failed.
