Python throwing 401 error when trying to access SharePoint lists

I have tried basic auth while following this link. I have also followed this question to get my code below using NTLM auth. I am still being thrown a 401 error. Is this an outdated way of pulling SharePoint lists or is there something wrong with my code?

import requests

from requests_ntlm import HttpNtlmAuth

response = requests.get("https://example.com/_api/web/...", auth=HttpNtlmAuth('username', 'password'))

print(response.status_code)

Your approach is good enough.

Try few changes as below:

import requests
from requests_ntlm import HttpNtlmAuth

url="https://sharepointexample.com/"
user, pwd = "username", "pwd"
headers = {'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose'}
r = requests.get(url, auth=HttpNtlmAuth(user, pwd), headers=headers)
print(r.status_code)
print(r.content)

Here you wont encounter 401 response, instead you will get Response as 200, which indicates the HTTP response is OK!!..

Next the content will show you the list options which you can parse as html page.

Hope this helps!!
