How to use a bearer token for authentication using Python SDK

I am trying to use a bearer token for authentication using Python SDK.

On the documentation I found several examples using the LMv1 access_id and access_key values, like this:

# Configure API key authorization: LMv1
configuration = logicmonitor_sdk.Configuration()
configuration.company = 'YOUR_COMPANY'
configuration.access_id = 'YOUR_ACCESS_ID'
configuration.access_key = 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY'

# create an instance of the API class
api_instance = logicmonitor_sdk.LMApi(logicmonitor_sdk.ApiClient(configuration))

but couldn’t find any example on using bearer token for authentication.

After some search I found something about defining “api_token” and “api_token_prefix” but couldn’t get it to work.

Anybody have any example I could follow to use this?

    I read that article but I’m afraid it doesn’t mention anything about using bearer tokens in the LogicMonitor SDK.

    For .NET developers…

    We are looking to add support for the LogicMonitor.Api nuget package (see my signature) within the next couple of weeks.

    Why is a wrong answer marked as the answer and why is someone shilling their .NET implementation of the SDK in a discussion on the python SDK?

    He must have missed the sign about “No Shilling”

    I do agree it’s off topic though.

    @Javier -- I have received confirmation from our dev team that, at least currently, bearer tokens are not supported with the SDK.

    Please feel encouraged to submit product feedback within your portal so our Product team can prioritize this! You can submit feedback from within your portal in the 'Support' menu.

    Hi @Javier! This is a great question. I’m doing some internal investigation and testing to see if this is supported. 

    Of course, if anyone else has already had luck with this, please do chime in!

    I was trying something like this:

    . . .
    configuration = logicmonitor_sdk.Configuration()
    configuration.company = "CCCCCCC"
    configuration.api_key_prefix['Authorization'] = "Bearer"
    configuration.api_key['Authorization'] = "XXXXXXXXXXX"
    api_instance = logicmonitor_sdk.LMApi(logicmonitor_sdk.ApiClient(configuration))
    . . .

    but when trying to do any call, I always get a denied access (401) error message.
