Python API: 401 Unauthorised when include_mate_connectors set to true in get_assembly_def arguments

^ I've been using the above code to get the assembly definition but when I set include_mate_connectors in get_assembly_definition call I get a 401 error.
However it works fine if I remove them.

Wondering if anyone could help diagnose this issue. Thanks.

Thank you for trying out the experimental python client! I'm happy to help you here, but FYI, I posted an issue against the repo itself to track this issue here: https://github.com/onshape-public/python-client/issues/4

Just fixed this -- see here: https://github.com/onshape-public/onshape-clients/blob/master/python/test/test_assemblies_api.py One thing to note is that the inlcude_mate_connectors only actually does everything if you also set the include_features flag.

Apologies I was inaccurate. It was actually if you put in any kwargs. Thanks for the quick fix!

installed onshape-client with pip install (confirmed on 0.0.24)
cloned the onshape-clients repo

pipenv shell in onshape-clients/python then ran my get assembly definition code
and now I'm getting Error 111 Connection Refused.

tried without pipenv --> same error


Let me know if I did something wrong, thanks.

Hmm... what did you plugin for your baseurl in your credentials file? It should be https://cad.onshape.com (without the /api). Specifically, your creds file should look like (of course with your own credentials plugged in): 
prod: base_url: "https://cad.onshape.com"
secret_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
access_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX default_stack: prod

In my code I added the second line:

configuration = onshape_client.Configuration()
configuration.host = "http://cad.onshape.com"<br>

Fixes the issue 111 error because the URL is correct now. Default configuration.host is set to localhost in configuration.py.

However, now I get a returned None from my API call. Any ideas?

I copied the URL the program uses and it works in my browser.

That is because some of our APIs still don't have typing information migrated to openAPI. You'll need to add the keyword argument
