API access for beginners

[PatrickKiefer93]

I try to use the API of coco annotator. I am new in this topic and I do not really find a helpful documentation.
I just want to load an image and its coco annotation to coco-annotator from a python script.

But already the first command does not work, followed by error message:

{"success": false, "message": "Authorization required"}

I tried to get authorization with my limited knowledge about API and Swagger but without success.
How can I get authorization and send commands? Maybe some examples in python would be very helpful.

Thank you.

I had same issue about Authorization required error and Finally I found out how I can use rest api with authorization.
You will get an authorization information in cookie of response from login request.
You just need to call rest api with cookie that you received from login requests.

import requests
base_url = "http://localhost:5000/api/"
login_res = requests.post(base_url + "user/login", json={"username":"admin", "password": "password"})
res = requests.post(base_url+"category/", json= {"name":"test"}, cookies = login_res.cookies)
