How do I authenticate requests in Python?

You can authenticate requests in Python using libraries like requests with basic auth, OAuth, or API keys.

Can you show me an example using an API key?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import requests

url = 'https://api.example.com/data'
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.json())

What if I need to use OAuth instead?

For OAuth, you can use the requests-oauthlib library. Here's a basic example:

from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1Session

url = 'https://api.example.com/data'
client_key = 'YOUR_CLIENT_KEY'
client_secret = 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET'
resource_owner_key = 'YOUR_RESOURCE_OWNER_KEY'
resource_owner_secret = 'YOUR_RESOURCE_OWNER_SECRET'

oauth = OAuth1Session(client_key,
                      client_secret=client_secret,
                      resource_owner_key=resource_owner_key,
                      resource_owner_secret=resource_owner_secret)
response = oauth.get(url)
print(response.json())
