I tried to use the Mendeley SDK and I'm having some problems. I already set the virtual environment and installed the Mendeley package but still I cant make work the code. As far as I can understand the following response it's because something in the virtual environment or in the mendeley package is not working, can someone tell me what should I do next

I used this code which I found in: Authentication issue in mendeley Python SDK

client_id = 1
client_secret = "XXXXXXXXX"

redirect_uri = "http://localhost:8080/testing"

from mendeley import Mendeley

# These values should match the ones supplied when registering your application.
mendeley = Mendeley(client_id, redirect_uri=redirect_uri)

auth = mendeley.start_implicit_grant_flow()

# The user needs to visit this URL, and log in to Mendeley.
login_url = auth.get_login_url()

import requests

res = requests.post(login_url, allow_redirects = False, data = {
    'username': 'xxxx@gmail.com',
    'password': 'xxxxx'
})

auth_response = res.headers['Location']

# After logging in, the user will be redirected to a URL, auth_response.
session = auth.authenticate(auth_response)

print(session.files.list().items)

After I made added the info needed to access the API I get this response:

  • Does this answer your question? [cannot import name 'MutableMapping' from 'collections'](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70870041/cannot-import-name-mutablemapping-from-collections) – sudden_appearance Nov 05 '22 at 20:37
  • Please also take a look to [docs](https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/collections.html). Deprecated since version 3.3, will be removed in version 3.10: Moved Collections Abstract Base Classes to the collections.abc module. For backwards compatibility, they continue to be visible in this module through Python 3.9. – sudden_appearance Nov 05 '22 at 20:38
