We were using below script to connect and download csv and store it in folder. But now website has changed and it asks for the username and password. Can somebody suggests any required changes where we can connect to URL, Authenticate with username and password, and download the file?
import os
import urllib2
response = urllib2.urlopen('URL')
data = response.read()
filename = os.path.join(os.environ['SPLUNK_HOME'], 'etc', 'apps', 'SPLAPP', 'lookups', "Splunk_Monitored_Hosts.csv")
file_ = open(filename, 'w')
file_.write(data)
#file_.close()
I know this is a bit old but here's how I authenticate with Basic HTTP Auth:
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
username = "<user>"
apikey = "<pass>"
apiurl = "<theurlyouconnectto>"
with requests.Session() as s:
s.auth = (username,apikey)
r = s.get(apiurl)
