How to get the Limesurvey API working in Python was created by gracylayla
I'm trying to get the session key from the Limesurvey API using Selenium with Python 2.7 ( mindmajix.com/selenium-with-python-training ) and I'm not getting any results after running my code. I've followed the example in the documentation but still get an error
Code:
<p>Error: <type 'exceptions.ValueError'></p>
. My code is as follows:
Code:
import urllib
import urllib2
import json
import sys
 
req = urllib2.Request(url='https://testone.limequery.com/index.php/admin/remotecontro,\
                              data='{\"method\":\"get_session_key\",\"params\":[\"admin\",\"Password\"],\"id\":1}')
req.add_header('content-type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('connection', 'Keep-Alive')
 
try:    
    f = urllib2.urlopen(req)
    myretun = f.read()
    j=json.loads(myretun)
    print (j['result'])
except :
        e = sys.exc_info()[0]
        print ( "<p>Error: %s</p>" % e )

Removing the try catch gives me the error ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

I know little about Python but it seems to me that the path to remotcontrol is incorrect.
Cheers,
