I need help with API

[aigo15108]

So this is my authenticate method,

defcreate_session(self):
self.session = requests.Session()
self.session.headers = {
'Content-Type' : 'application/json-rpc'
}


defauthenticate (self):

data = {
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "user.authenticate",
"params": {
"user": self.username,
"password": self.secret
},
"id": 1,
"auth": null
}

r =self.session.post(self.url, data= data)

POST returns this,

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "REST.API.py", line 60, in <module>
main()
File "REST.API.py", line 56, in main
restapi.authenticate()
File "REST.API.py", line 32, in authenticate
"auth": null
NameError: name 'null' is not defined

Any thoughts, ideas on what I am doing wrong?
thanks in advance,

What version of Zabbix are you using? The method user.authenticate is deprecated. Check the API manual and check the necessary parameters.

Thanks, I am using version 4.something. I figured what the problem was, as '"auth": null' should not be present in the dataload. This info (that I was referring to) is incorrect; see Authentication section

The notation on JSON is “null”, but the character “null” may not be defined depending on the programming language. For example, in Python, use "None" to specify that the variable is undefined.
For API arguments, check the detailed manual of each API. Depending on the API, you may not need to specify auth as an argument.
