I'm using ejabberd from the docker container. I followed this link to install ejabberd docker container.
I tried the Administration APIs in the docs. For example, I have tried to register users with API in postman. It worked and created the user in the server. But when I tried to send a post request with the python requests library, I get 401 error.
My ejabberd.yml file:

I tried to create user with POSTMAN and its working.
But, when I tried to create it with requests library, its not working.
api.py
import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
url = "http://localhost:5443/api/register"
data = {
"user": "testuser2",
"host": "localhost",
"password": "password"
}
# res = requests.post(url, json=data, auth=("admin", "admin_password"))
res = requests.post(url, json=data, auth=HTTPBasicAuth("admin", "root"))
print(res)
The response when I run the above script:
<Response [401]>
I have admin user in the server with the same credentials that I passed to the auth attribute of the post method. I'm new to XMPP and I'm not sure what I'm missing here. I'm using the latest version of ejabberd docker container. I have disabled SSL while using POSTMAN.
