So I was trying to dive into Python because I want to write an Agent for the Plex Media Server. This Agent will access the MyAnimeList.net API with HTTP Authentication (more about that here) my Username and passwords work but I don't have a clue why I still get a 401 error from the server as response.
Here is some code (I'm using python 2.5 because plex said so) :)
import urllib2
username = "someUser"
password = "somePass"
url = "http://myanimelist.net/api/anime/search.xml?q=bleach"
password_mgr = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
top_level_url = "http://myanimelist.net/"
password_mgr.add_password(None, top_level_url, username, password)
handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPHandler, handler)
request = urllib2.Request(url)
print request.get_full_url()
f = urllib2.urlopen(request).read()
print(f)
and this is what I get as response
> http://myanimelist.net/api/anime/search.xml?q=bleach Traceback (most
> recent call last): File

> raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp) HTTPError: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized
Bear in mind that this is my first time programming in Python and im kind of confused with many examples in the web because they did something with the urllib2 so that it doesn't exists in python 3.0, i think, anymore
Any ideas? Or any better ways to do this?
