Hey folks,

There’s many questions being asked about the Private Keys. As far as I know, Private API Keys aren’t implemented (yet?).

However, the username and password is implemented (though you can’t have 2 Factor Authentication activated). Here is the framework I use in AWS Lambda in Python:

import json  
import boto3  
import urllib3

sm8_api_URL = "sm8_api_endpoint"

user = "YOUR_USERNAME"
password = "YOUR_PASSWORD"

http = urllib3.PoolManager(cert_reqs = "CERT_REQUIRED", ca_certs = certifi.where())
secure_headers = urllib3.util.make_headers(basic_auth=user+":"+password)

r = http.request("GET", sm8_api_URL, headers=secure_headers)

contact_raw = json.loads(r.data.decode("utf-8"))

As you can tell, your username and password are in cleartext, so my suggestion would be to create a new user that is read only.

This code is only an example. I can’t offer support if you can’t get it working.
