python API tutorial error

[PF_Wags]

Hello,

I am trying to follow th python_API tutorial but I cant connect to my server. What am I missing?

I am following the code from the tutorial with my server, api key, and username but I get the following error

>>> session = ftrack_api.Session(
...     server_url='http://mycompany.ftrackapp.com',
...     api_key='7545384e-a653-11e1-a82c-f22c11dd25eq',
...     api_user='martin'
... )

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 4, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ftrack_api\session.py", line 224, in __init__
    self._server_information = self._fetch_server_information()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ftrack_api\session.py", line 1317, in _fetch_server_information
    result = self._call([{'action': 'query_server_information'}])
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ftrack_api\session.py", line 1620, in _call
    raise ftrack_api.exception.ServerError(error_message)
ftrack_api.exception.ServerError: Server reported error: HTTPMethodNotAllowed()

Hi,

your server is using a secure https connection so you need to ensure https is included in the url when you create the session:

http://mycompany.ftrackapp.com

should be

https://mycompany.ftrackapp.com

That was it! Thanks for the help.

Please update the tutorial document as this is still misleading new users with the http example instead of the required https.

 

Cheers
