Token Authentication

[salimdason]

Hello @a-know nice looking out. I am using python. I just saw the error after you pointed it out. I was passing TOKEN and USERNAME as strings instead of variables. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for catching the error.

@salimdason
Thank you for reporting.
But, I could not reproduce it. Would you paste the command when you tried to create an account?

Hi @salimdason , thank you for detail.

Are you using Python or something else to run the Pixela API?
I don't know Python well, but the following sections looks bad:

"token": "TOKEN",

TOKEN = "khajbdvahdgy72y8his83" is variable. So the user_params must be as follows, right?
（And, USERNAME too.)

user_params = {
"token": TOKEN,
"username": USERNAME,
"agreeTermsOfService": "yes",
"notminor": "yes"
}

Please check this :)

No problem at all. Don't worry about it. I am really glad that your problem is solved! 😄

And, thank you for using Pixela. I hope you continue to enjoy it! :)

Hello @a-know, sure. I've tried using different configurations for the token but still no joy. I've included the code snippet. Thanks for taking a look.

import requests

#Create User Account

USERNAME = 'usernameiused'
TOKEN = "khajbdvahdgy72y8his83"

pixela_endpoint ="https://pixe.la/v1/users"

user_params = {
"token": "TOKEN",
"username": "USERNAME",
"agreeTermsOfService": "yes",
"notminor": "yes"
}

response = requests.post(url=pixela_endpoint, json=user_params)
print(response.text)

{"message":"The token string must be at least 8 characters and not more than 128 letters and numbers or alphanumeric characters or symbols.","isSuccess":false}
