Re: Looking for simplest example to access quickbase using python

The error is saying one of your variables is a NoneType. So one of them is not being populated as you expect it to be.

You have no other issues with the code? Do you know if you are able to authenticate fine? 

I think I may have made a slight mistake and you may need to do this command instead, as there is no database being set. Assuming you used my exact code above without any changes. The "database" part just needs to be your table ID.

qbc.doquery(qid=1, database='your_database')

    Hi Austin,

    I changed the code to the table_id and ran the script. Still i have the following error. Can you please help?

    >>> qbc.doquery(qid=1,database='bp7ejv2ma');

    Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

      File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyqb/__init__.py", line 150, in doquery

        res = self.__request('DoQuery', database, req)

      File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyqb/__init__.py", line 112, in __request

        raise ResponseError('Received err #{0} : {1}'.format(errcode, errtext))

    pyqb.ResponseError: Received err #83 : Invalid error code: 83

      If for some reason the library above is failing there is also the example at the bottom of this post on how to do this with Requests. It is a little more involved but the example file should have everything you need.

      What Python version are you using for this? Looking at pyqb it has some potential issues with newer Pythons but not much is documented. I am testing it again myself and running into some issues using the newest Python. It worked fine for me before. I will let you know if I find anything out.

      So far I have tried to authenticate via username and password, user token, and app token. None of them seemed to work but I may be missing something easy here.

      I have figured out part of the issue, on my end anyway. I was using http rather than https, that was all that stopped me from connecting with the authenticate command. 

      After connecting I am still have some small issues running doquery. I am unsure if this is an issue with my current realm or what but I will try and check into it later.
