get url from python

Question

good day! I need to send a request via the api to the https server. the documentation describes that this must be done via curl. example request:

enter image description here

everything works out through curl. the request is sent, the response comes ok.

but if I try to send the same request with a python script, I get a 401 error.

here is my code.

import requests


def main():
    token = 'my_token'
    # url = 'https://api-ip.fssp.gov.ru/api/v1.0/'
    url = 'https://api-ip.fssp.gov.ru/api/v1.0/search/physical'
    region = '48'
    lastname = 'Иванов'
    firstname = 'Валерий'
    secondname = 'Викторович'
    birthdate = '02.07.1970'

    data = {
    'token': token,
    'region': region,
    'lastname': lastname,
    'firstname': firstname,
    'birthdate': birthdate,
    'secondname': secondname
    }

    response = requests.get(url=url, data=data)

    print(response.status_code)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

here is the content of the response from the server

b'{"status":"error","code":401,"exception":"token not exist","response":[]}'

What am I doing wrong?

I wanted to start working on this by verifying that everything works via curl. But then you made things difficult by only including a screenshot. — Sören

You're also passing more parameters than in the curl command you say works - and the 401 code suggests that you may have made a mistake in copying / encoding / .. the token, because it means 'unauthorised'. It's also possible that the site simply doesn't like that you're coming in using Python and you may need to pretend being another User-agent. I don't feel like trying my luck on api-ip.fssp.gov.ru/api/v1.0/search/physical — Grismar

That's still an image, by the way - if you'd take the time to see why people don't like images, not being able to copy paste ranks pretty high. — Grismar

Try using the params argument instead of data to URL encode the values:

    response = requests.get(url=url, params=data)
