Requests: AttributeError: 'set' object has no attribute 'items'

[codespaced]

fresh pip install requests. version 2.12.4. This works in postman.

headers = {'Authorization', 'Bearer TOKEN-HERE'}

AttributeError: 'set' object has no attribute 'items'

Hey @codespaced, thanks for opening this issue. It looks like you used a comma instead of a colon to separate the key and value in your header. This is creating a set object instead of the dictionary we're expecting. Replacing that should solve your issue.

Yup, this is strictly a Python syntax problem and not a Requests issue. Thanks @nateprewitt. :D

hey i am facing the same isuues but not able to get where i am facing attribute errors:

self.token= 'ywlGaT0X44WGEps98WDN8xyFMmJgfGTehKxT5heiq_A7yqa_xwM9z6s2ouB1R7LprEYaTtXoILzx713kYhvoOxQrPLsRuvEAhnHfpc0sRonNXRYJgD91P8c2_mJJJ58MYs2TiMCEXlByG2ODRrb9e5OA35l74HXAegMabFJE7GnLX_4ZCxD2EygFP8LKqamdfao66QXAmXW60nwWYOF7g3bPdQNH3eK2siY9yODd_pFJ2IpLxBiadEFvAWZj5Y'

self.headers = {'content-type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'token {}'.format(self.token)}

getting an error like :+1:
def test_api_get(self):
# A get request (json example):

  response = requests.get(self.myurl, headers=self.header)

E AttributeError: 'CL_API' object has no attribute 'header'

Please give me some inputs on it

I also have a similar error and I don't know why.

You have a typo in how you're writing your headers value.

headers = {"User Agent:" 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/83.0.4103.61 Safari/537.36'}

Should be

headers = {"User Agent": 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/83.0.4103.61 Safari/537.36'}

Look very closely
