Calling a workflow via a python script

I'm trying to call the REST endpoint of a Geocortex workflow from python. Has anyone managed to do this?

 

I'm using the Request python package which looks working ok however I can't seem to get around the authorisation part. I keep getting a 401 unauthorised error.

 

This is the python code for reference.

 

import requests

 

wf = r"http://myserver/Geocortex/Essentials/Geocortex/REST/sites/Dev/workflows/testWF/run"

 

r = requests.get(wf, auth=('user', 'pwd'))

 

I'm able to navigate to the REST endpoint of the workflow in a browser and run it that way so I know it's working ok. It's just the authentication I can't seem to get to work.

 

Thanks for reading.

  Just thought I'd post an update incase anyone wanted to know.

   

  I got around the authenication issue by using NTLM authentication. I also had to include ReadyToRun=1 in the request.

   

  The updated python code is:

   

  import requests

   

  from requests_ntlm import HttpNtlmAuth

   

  wf = "http://myserver/Geocortex/Essentials/Geocortex/REST/sites/Dev/workflows/testWF/run?ReadyToRun=1"

   

  r = requests.get(wf, auth=HttpNtlmAuth('domain\\user', 'pwd'))
