PyZabbix for Accessing Zabbix API

[ankurhacked]

Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum and have a question rather a problem I am encountering while accessing Zabbix API from my Linux Machine. The error is as follows: I am getting a 403 forbidden error, this happens only when I access from Linux, if I install Python on windows and make the same API call it works just fine.


Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI
>>> zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://myserverzabbix")

Is http_code 200? or 301 at least?

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" "http://myserverzabbix/"

What kind of Linux operating system you have? Is SELinux installed? Try to get SELinux status:

getenforce

Thanks aigars.kadikis . I have managed to resolve the issue. The issue was with the server connecting to a Proxy. So now I am not using the proxy and the connection to Zabbix from Python works fine.
