Python pull report data from XERO by using OAuth2.0

I would like to pull reporting data from Xero by using Python.

This is what I have managed to do currently:

def keyGen():
  url_key = 'https://identity.xero.com/connect/token'
  key = '{}'.format(CLIENT_ID + ":" + CLIENT_SECRET)
  key2 = str(base64.b64encode(key.encode())).replace("b'",'').replace("'",'')
  headers_key = {
      'Authorization': 'Basic {}'.format(key2),
      'Content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
  }
  data = [
    ('grant_type', 'authorization_code'),
    #('code', 'xxxx'),
    #('redirect_uri', 'http://localhost:5000/callback')
  ]

  response = requests.post(url_key, headers=headers_key,data=data)
  jsonResponseKey = response.json()

I'm not good with OAuth2.0 especially with App / Redirect URL and etc., I do not have full vision.

Extra information:

Current Issue is: enter image description here

Any suggestions?

I would recommend that you look at the pyxero library - it is a great python wrapper to deal with OAuth and xero API access.

I initially spent hours trying to get Authlib working, and while it does a lot more than pyxero, including server side OAuth issuing, for what I needed I could get pyxero up & running in a fraction of the time.

OAuth2 steps and sample code is set out on the pyxero github repo.
