How to download a file from assembla with a key and a secret using a python script

Question

import requests

url = 'https://api.assembla.com/v1/spaces'
API_KEY = "API_KEY"
API_SECRET = "API_SECRET "
resp = requests.get(url, auth=(API_KEY, API_SECRET))
print(resp.status_code)

I keep getting 401. I'm not sure how to use an API_KEY and an API_SECRET to download a pdf file (let's call it test.pdf) from an assembla url given to me. Any help appreciated.

Does seem like you need to use those as headers instead based from their documentation

import requests

url = 'https://api.assembla.com/v1/spaces'

headers = {
    "X-Api-Key": "API_KEY",
    "X-Api-Secret": "API_SECRET"
}

resp = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

See Customer Headers from the requests documentation
