I'm glad that worked, Thon.
Let us know if you run into any other problems with the API in a proxy set up. Carl

Hi Carl,
I am using the submit and get functions from the scripts/api/common.py....
I actually found that I just need to add authentication to the calls, so I added this
<code> def authenticate(url, u, p): auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler() auth_handler.add_password(realm='GALAXY@GHI. Please log in with your Windows account', uri=url, user=u, passwd=p) opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth_handler) # ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen. urllib2.install_opener(opener)
def make_url( api_key, url, args=None ): # Adds the API Key to the URL if it's not already there. if args is None: args = [] argsep = '&' if '?' not in url: argsep = '?' if '?key=' not in url and '&key=' not in url: args.insert( 0, ( 'key', api_key ) ) return url + argsep + '&'.join( [ '='.join( t ) for t in args ] )
def get( api_key, url, user, pw ): # Do the actual GET. url = make_url( api_key, url ) authenticate(url, user, pw) try: return simplejson.loads( urllib2.urlopen( url ).read() ) except simplejson.decoder.JSONDecodeError, e: print "URL did not return JSON data" sys.exit(1) . . .
</code>
This will authenticate for each call and it seems to work nicely (if you add the authenticate step to each of the functions, like I did here for get....

Hello Anthonius,
Can you elaborate on how you're invoking the API? How are you calling it?
Thanks, Carl

Hi,
I am trying to use the API with my galaxy server running behind a proxy server. How do I pass username/password information to the API so it can actually run? If I use the regular API calls I get a access denied...
Thanks
Thon
