How to retrieve a list of all articles of Fogbugz-wiki that have a certain tag?

Question

Via the Fogbugz REST API I try to get all articles with a certain tag. I wrote some code in python to get it but I got "zero" as result. Here is my code:
import requests
...
some code to log in
...

req_params={"cmd": "search", "token": self.token,"q":"tag:\"my_cool_tag\""}
response = requests.get(req_url, data=req_body, headers=req_header, params=req_params, verify=False)
print (response.text)

as response I got:
...cases count="0"...
Is there a way to get all articles with a certain tag in a list via REST-API and how I can achieve this? I am using FogBugz Version 8.8.49.0.

Try the search with curl or directly in your web browser to check that it works, then see if you can debug your Python.

In a browser I can successfully query FogBugz Online with something like:

https://<domain>.fogbugz.com/api.asp?token=<token>&cmd=search&q=tag:%22<my_tag>%22

Although I entered quotes around my tag, the browser url encoded them to %22. Obviously <domain>, <token> and <my_tag> should be replaced with your own values.

Your basic parameters look OK, but I haven't used Python so am not sure whether escaping the quotes around the tag translates well to the GET request? Maybe try url encoding "my_cool_tag".
