Using headers with the Robot Framework requests library's 'Get Request' Keyword

I want to test API using Requests Library.

My Code is as follows:

*** Settings ***
Documentation     Read API Testcase
Library           RequestsLibrary

*** Variables ***
${headers}        {'content-type': 'application/json', 'authorizationFlag':'N'}

*** Test Cases ***
Read API
    Create Session    CLM    http://172.20.33.224:8080/clm-reg/rest/dataservice/1/CLM/1
    ${resp}    Get Request    CLM    /RegistrationRequestDetails/json/583d8b14498e021b2f93a773    headers = ${headers} 
    Log to console    ${resp}

I am getting the error : 

AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'items'

I found the problem with the Headers i am passing.

when i searched over the internet, i got that the way i am passing the header values is correct.

Please any one help me on this.

Thanks Sarada

You could use the built-in variable dictionary type like this:

    Set Test Variable    ${HEADERS}       Content-Type=application/json    authorisationFlag=N    Accept=*/*    Cache-Control=no-cache

Then call it as a variable which spread as a dict on your headers variable:

    ${resp}    Post Request   api-encoder    /api-token-auth/    data=${DATA}    headers=${HEADERS}

I tried several methods on Robot Framework 5.0.1 (Python 3.11.3 on darwin), below code works:

      ${HEADERS}    Create Dictionary
      Set To Dictionary     ${HEADERS}    Content-Type=application/json        accept=*/*

I've changed your headers line to what should work. Let us know if you've any success or what other problems you get tripped up on.

*** Variables ***
${headers}       Create Dictionary    Content-Type    application/json    authorisationFlag    N

The problem is that your ${headers} var is just a string, not a dictionary. JSON is tricky that way. You have several options to create a dictionary in RF.

  • RF's Create Dictionary keyword
  • Python's json.loads(str) as a lib call
  • RF's Evaluate keyword...
