Using API Keys

[dennismonsewicz]

Can someone give an example on using Cloudant API Keys to connect?

[garbados]

import cloudant

account = cloudant.Account(USERNAME, auth=(API_KEY, API_SECRET))

Let me know if that doesn't work :)

The code seems to be working, but when I try to iterate over all the documents in the DB, I am getting this error:

{u'reason': u'_reader access is required for this request', u'error': u'unauthorized'}

The API key I am using is setup to be an admin on the account

Another question, I am using the library to incorporate with a CRUD controller in a Flask app...

I am attempting to DRY up some of my code and here is what I have so far:

class WorkflowsCloudant(cloudant.Account):
    def __init__(self):
        super(WorkflowsCloudant, self).__init__(settings.COUCH_DB_ACCOUNT_NAME,
                                                auth=(settings.COUCH_PUBLIC_KEY, settings.COUCH_PRIVATE_KEY))
        self._set_database()

    def _set_database(self):
        return self.database(settings.COUCH_DB_NAME)

@blueprint.route('/<workflow_id>')
def get_single_workflow(account_id, workflow_id):
    account = WorkflowsCloudant()
    # db = account.database(settings.COUCH_DB_NAME)
    doc = account.document(workflow_id)
    resp = doc.get().json()

    if resp['account_id'] != account_id:
        return error_helpers.forbidden('Invalid Account')

    return jsonify(resp)

For some reason when I try to access account.document() the error I am getting is: AttributeError: 'WorkflowsCloudant' object has no attribute 'document'

Sorry for my ignorance, I am a Python newb

I have the same issue as dennismonsewicz - I can authenticate using

account = cloudant.Account(USERNAME, auth=(API_KEY, API_SECRET))
db= account.database('my-database')

and I can then read and write individual docs to the db without a problem. However when I try to iterate over all docs with db.all_docs() I get the same error: {u'reason': u'_reader access is required for this request', u'error': u'unauthorized'}

[janakmayer]

I just created a pull request to fix this: https://github.com/cloudant-labs/cloudant-python/pull/53

In the mean time, a solution that works is to pass the authorization tuple directly into the all_docs() method:

auth = (api_key, api_secret)
DB.all_docs(auth=auth)

On line: account = cloudant.Account(USERNAME, auth=(API_KEY, API_SECRET))

I get the error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Account'

I get the same error as @ayushidalmia, anyone resolved this?

try this from cloudant.client import Cloudant account = Cloudant(USERNAME, auth=(API_KEY, API_SECRET)
