Running Auto-Tag from Algorithmia

Question

I'm trying to run Auto-Tag from Algorithmia, and mainly tried with cURL and Pyhton, and get an error that states:

cURL

{"error":{"message":"authorization required"}}

Python

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Answer 1

According to the documentation for AutoTag, you'll want to include authorization information as a header on your request before sending it.

Here's their example:

import urllib2, json
input = ["rails","rails"]
request = urllib2.Request('https://api.algorithmia.com/v1/algo/tags/AutoTagGithub/0.1.1')
request.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
request.add_header('Authorization', 'Simple sim11111111111111111123456789abcdef')
response = urllib2.urlopen(request, json.dumps(input))
print response.read()

If you're following their example (as it looks like you are), I'd recommend putting your own token in in place of sim11111111111111111123456789abcdef.

The Algorithmia python client available on PyPi allows setting the API Key directly:

import Algorithmia

input = ["rails","rails"]
client = Algorithmia.client('YOUR_API_KEY')
algo = client.algo('tags/AutoTagGithub/0.1.4')
print algo.pipe(input)
