title: Requesting an API call that requires an oauth token in python
body: <p>So i'm writing a program that post's data to a url and get's the response. In postman it requires a token. So when I tried to make it in python it's giving me a response [401]. </p>
  
  <p>The problem I have is trying to get the token first and then passing it to my post_data method. </p>
  
  <p>I'm going to put *** by the URL and username and password for privacy concerns. </p>
  
  <pre><code>import requests
  import json
  import pprint
  import urllib
  
  def get_token():
      tokenurl='***'
      data={
              'grant_type':'password',
              'username':'***',
              'password':'***'
              }
      token=requests.post(tokenurl,data=data)
      print(token)    
  get_token()
  
  def post_data():
      url1='***'
      data={"***"
        }
  
      data_json = json.dumps(data)
      headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json'}
      response = requests.post(url, data=data_json, headers=headers)
      pprint.pprint(response.json())
  
  </code></pre>
