I'm trying to run the following script. It returns an "unauthorized 401 error". If I execute an corresponding curl request it gets executed correctly.

import requests
import json
url =  "https://api.box.com/2.0/users/"
data = {'Authorization': 'Bearer Access_token'}
payload = json.dumps(data)
r = requests.get(url, data=payload, verify=False)
print r.url
print r.text
print r.json

How is this [tag:r] issue? – Roman Luštrik Mar 05 '15 at 13:38
Are you sure the authorization token should be sent as a GET parameter and not a HTTP header? – Justin Fay Mar 05 '15 at 13:42
Got it..!! Thnks justinfay..I corrected that one..and passed it as header...and got the desired result. Thank you.. – Nitesh Selkari Mar 05 '15 at 14:42
No problem, perhaps you should submit an answer to your own question with the solution. – Justin Fay Mar 05 '15 at 15:08
