How can I make this script to run?

[robertrubiolhz98]

Hello I've recently started to learn about devnet so I'm starting with easy things like how to code or how to manage Cisco DNA Center but I've got a difficult start when I'm trying to compile this script I always get the message of WARNING dnac_config is not a module I know it's a python file but I don't know how to make it work 

Just in case I'm going to share the code:

import requests   # We use Python external "requests" module to do HTTP query
import dnac_config  # DNA-C IP is assigned in dnac_config.py
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth


def get_auth_token():
    """
    Building out Auth request. Using requests.post to make a call to the Auth Endpoint
    """
    url = 'https://sandboxdnac.cisco.com/dna/system/api/v1/auth/token'       # Endpoint URL
    resp = requests.post(url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(DNAC_USER, DNAC_PASSWORD))  # Make the POST Request
    token = resp.json()['Token']    # Retrieve the Token from the returned JSON
    print("Token Retrieved: {}".format(token))  # Print out the Token
    return token    # Create a return statement to send the token back for later use

if __name__ == "__main__":
    get_auth_token()

I've been using PyCharm for easy examples about Postman but where I'm starting to begin my journey it's almost impossible (Also I don't know how to use Cisco DNA Center). I will be so grateful if you answer me correctly to get an output about all of this.

Greetings,

A newbie

You will need a file named dnac_config.py

I think DNAC_USER, DNAC_PASSWORD are assigned over there.

The DNAC using in this script is based on the following DevNet sandbox.

Thank you for your answer!

I know that I need a file named dnac_config.py because that's why you import dnac_config all the settings for DNAC, DNAC_USERNAME and DNAC_PASSWORD without this file we can't work.

I'm thinking that maybe I don't know how to use DNA Center properly and that I'm misunderstanding/ not finding the key to do these kind of exercises.

Also that link says that because you have made a reservation I can't

[yawming]

can you attach dnac_config.py ?

are you using mac or Windows ? I will run it through to show you.

[robertrubiolhz98]

It would be helpful at least to show me a capture of this working on DNA Center and Python script (what program are you using exactly).

I'm using Windows 10 at the latest version/updates

[yawming · Accepted solution]

Just run script in command line. I assume you already have python installed in your windows.

Thank you I realized that I needed to make a link between those two files with the dnac_config.DNAC_USER and DNAC_PASSWORD

What I really don't understand is why from the file dnac_config they import DNAC and DNAC_PORT

[yawming]

Sometime people put the frequent changed parameters in other file so they don't need to modify source code just because they need to change username, password, ip....etc.

import other file just the way python include (reference to) other file.

Yup I've downloaded a dnac_config just to make sure what variables are used inside and it's something like this

but not variables like DNA created from nowhere

here is my dnac_config.py:

DNAC_USER = "devnetuser"
DNAC_PASSWORD = "Cisco123!"

and here is my script: (get_auth.py):

import requests # We use Python external "requests" module to do HTTP query
import dnac_config # DNA-C IP is assigned in dnac_config.py

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

def get_auth_token():
"""
Building out Auth request. Using requests.post to make a call to the Auth Endpoint
"""
url = 'https://sandboxdnac.cisco.com/dna/system/api/v1/auth/token' # Endpoint URL
resp = requests.post(url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(dnac_config.DNAC_USER, dnac_config.DNAC_PASSWORD)) # Make the POST Request
token = resp.json()['Token'] # Retrieve the Token from the returned JSON
print("Token Retrieved: {}".format(token)) # Print out the Token
return token # Create a return statement to send the token back for later use

if __name__ == "__main__":
get_auth_token()

I am using Mac so I run it as 

Mochi$python get_auth.py

and this is the output

Token Retrieved: eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiI1YmQ5OGQzNWIyYmVhMDAwNGMzZWM5YmYiLCJhdXRoU291cmNlIjoiaW50ZXJuYWwiLCJ0ZW5hbnROYW1lIjoiVE5UMCIsInJvbGVzIjpbIjViZDM2MzRiYjJiZWEwMDA0YzNlYmI1YSJdLCJ0ZW5hbnRJZCI6IjViZDM2MzRhYjJiZWEwMDA0YzNlYmI1OCIsImV4cCI6MTU2MjAyMDU4NSwidXNlcm5hbWUiOiJkZXZuZXR1c2VyIn0.mryjlXPOoBvL_U55pC65WuSM98kheI42AqTuPHyqcfQ

I know this is going too much but could you make some screenshots about how the process it's done so I could know the entire process? Because I'm still confused about DNA Center and how to use it (there is no tutorial on how to make simple things like this ones)

Thank you!

I am using the Devnet DEVASC VM. it has VS Code. I am able to runthis script with no errors, but do not get a printed output. This is what I have on my VM

Dnac_config.py

DNAC_USER = "devnetuser"

DNAC_PASSWORD = "Cisco123!"

Simple_auth.py

import requests

import dnac_config

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

#from dnac_config import DNAC_USER, DNAC_PASSWORD

def get_auth_token():

    """

    Building out Auth request. Using requests.post to make a call to the Auth Endpoint

    """

    url = 'https://sandboxdnac.cisco.com/dna/system/api/v1/auth/token'       # Endpoint URL

    resp = requests.post(url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(dna_config.DNAC_USER, dna_config.DNAC_PASSWORD))  # Make the POST Request

    token = resp.json()['Token']    # Retrieve the Token from the returned JSON

    print("Token Retrieved: {}".format(token))  # Print out the Token

    return token    # Create a return statement tif __name__ == "__main__":

    get_auth_token()

    if __name__ == "__main__":

        get_auth_token()

I run with the following:

devasc@labvm:~$ python3 /home/devasc/Simple_auth.py

devasc@labvm:~$

I thought I would get the token printed. Any suggestions?
