Convert curl command to python get request

Question

I have subscribed to an API which gave me an authorization token and the following curl command:

curl -X GET --header "Accept: application/json" --header "Authorization: Bearer 37d5a9ac5442ba9f594a8ca1421a27b" "https://blah/blah/blah"

This curl works in terminal and returns some json when I run it. Now I need to work with the returned json so I wanted to either do this request in JS or python. Here's my python attempt:

url = "https://blah/blah/blah"
headers = {
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Authentication": "Bearer 37d5a9ac5442ba9f594a8ca1421a27b"
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.text)

This responds with:

{"fault":{"code":900902,"message":"Missing Credentials","description":"Required OAuth credentials not provided. Make sure your API invocation call has a header: \"Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN\""}}

What am I doing wrong? I don't have an explicit username and password like other answers to similar questions suggest.

Executing the curl statement resulted in a 200 OK being returned from the server? — wandering-geek

@kkaosninja The curl statement prints the expected json so I'm assuming the status code is 200. — Ian D

The error message says your request needs to include a header named Authorization.

But your Python code snippet instead has a request with the header name Authentication.
