add a value to a json body request in python

Question

I have created my own function which i import called timestamp, it returns two values :

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import requests
import json


def timeframe():
    response = requests.get("https://$host/api/profiler/1.13/reporting/timestamps.json", verify=False, auth=HTTPBasicAuth("admin", "admin"))
    time = response.json()
    for entry in time:
        if entry.get('data_resolution') == 'min':
            if entry.get('datasource') == 'FDS_TRAFFIC':
                start_time = entry['start_time']
                end_time = entry['end_time']
                return start_time, end_time

timeframe()

i need to add timestamps to a keys in a json body request, you will see ‘end’ & ‘start’ keys. I need to retrieve those timestamps and somehow add them to those keys.

    import requests
import timestamp
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import urllib3

urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

stamp = timestamp.timeframe()

print(stamp)

url = 'http://10.65.170.112/api/profiler/1.12/reporting/reports'
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
payload = {
    "criteria": {
        "time_frame": {
            "start": str(stamp[0]),
            "end": str(stamp[1]),
            "resolution": "flow"
        },
        "query": {
            "realm": "traffic_flow_list",
            "sort_column": 41,
            "devices": [
        {
          "ipaddr": "10.65.170.2"
        }
      ],
            "group_by": "flw",
            "columns": [
                729,
                40,
                41,
                14,
                44,
                10,
                45,
                46
            ]
        }
    },
    "template_id": 184
}

req = requests.post(url,  headers=headers, data = payload, verify=False, auth=HTTPBasicAuth('admin', 'admin'),)

print(req.status_code, req.text)

Not sure what to do.

Thanks

Answer 1

The function you created returns a tuple: return start_time, end_time.

So, a way to implement would be:

start, end = timestamp.timeframe()

Then, you can hydrate your body:

body = {  
    "criteria": {  
        "time_frame": {  
            "end": end,  
            "start": start,  
            "resolution": "flow" 
},

import requests
import timestamp
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import urllib3
import json
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

stamp = timestamp.timeframe()
auth = HTTPBasicAuth("admin", "admin")

url = "https://$host/api/profiler/1.13/reporting/reports"

headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}

payload = {
    "criteria": {
        "time_frame": {
            "start": stamp[0],
            "end": stamp[1],
            "resolution": "flow"
        },
        "query": {
            "realm": "traffic_summary",
            "sort_column": 41,
            "devices": [{ "ipaddr": "10.65.170.2"}],
            "group_by": "hos",
            "columns": [
                729,
                40,
                41,
                14,
                44,
                10,
                45,
                46
            ]
        }
    },
    "template_id": 184
}

req = requests.post(url, verify=False, auth=auth, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(payload))

print(req.headers)

Was resolved by adding data=json.dump(payload)
