Is the file you're downloading JSON?  If not then you'll get an error with those JSON commands.  You can access the body of the response with "r.content" or "r.text" depending on the file type.


​r = requests.get(
request_str,
headers = headers
)
print(r.content)

    No. The response only contains the error.

        Yes.  In the end this works for me.

        #Get image url using your method of choice

        import urllib.request
        from PIL import Image
        from io import BytesIO

        url = urllib.request.urlopen('https://the_image_url?usertoken=' + quickbase_token)
        s = url.read()

        img = Image.open(BytesIO(s))

        img.show() #or do whatever you want with it
