Problem with login

[skorp]

Hello.
My English isn't perfect so be forgiving please
I've got problem with login to betfair api. I downloaded and installed "requests" library. I'm using python 3.4. Here's my code:

import requests

payload = 'username=XXXXXXXX&password=XXXXXXXX'
headers = {'X-Application': 'XXXXXXXX', 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
 
resp = requests.post('https://identitysso.betfair.com/api/certlogin', data=payload, cert=('client-2048.crt', 'client-2048.key'), headers=headers)
 
if resp.status_code == 200:
  resp_json = resp.json()
  print (resp_json['loginStatus'])
  print (resp_json['sessionToken'])
else:
  print ("Request failed.") 

Of course I generated key and certificate in openSSL and added .crt file to betfair profile.

When i'm trying to run thic code, Python is returning that:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I was searching for answer in Google more than 2 hours and I didn't find nothing similar.

Please help me.

Hi skorp,
Have you been able to resolve this? I'm getting the same error but I'm struggling to find a resolution as you.

Thanks,
Nav

Yes, fantastic. This is a topic that excites me. geometry dash

I think it is an issue with locating your certificates, which is a common error with the requests library.

add:

import os

current_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)  #variable to point to current directory

then with your code change the line to:

resp = requests.post('https://identitysso.betfair.com/api/certlogin', data=payload, cert=(os.path.join(current_dir, 'client-2048.crt'), os.path.join(current_dir, 'client-2048.key'), headers=headers) ​

Note: the certificates must be in the same directory as your script.
