How do I login/authenticate through API on KACE 1000 System Management Appliance 7.0
Here is my python code:
# Import script for porting information from the KACE server
import requests
def main():
username = 'test'
password = 'test'
org_name = 'Default'
session = requests.session()
session.params = {'password': password,
'userName': username,
'organizationName': org_name}
session.headers = {'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'x-dell-api-version': '5'}
login_path = 'SERVER/ams/shared/api/security/login'
response = session.post(login_path)
print(response)
print(response.json())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
I am able to log in manually through the browser with the account test and password test as an admin. However, when running the above code I get
<Response [401]>
{'errorCode': 29, 'errorDescription': 'Login Failed: Incorrect user name or password.'}
I've been stuck on this for more than an entire day at work. I need to get access to the API in order to run queries with scripts. I called customer support and they . made me wait for 1 hour before telling me no engineers were available. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I want to be able to get a CSRF token with a status 200 response from the post request.
Thank you!

Figured out the solution thanks to someone on stack overflow.
This part must be put into the data part of the request and not the params:
session.headers = {'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'x-dell-api-version': '5'}
