creating a private app that has no user interface, only server to Ring Central interface.

I tried this code snippet with the JWT Token created in my Sandbox with clientid and client-secret. I get the following error:

Unable to authenticate to platform. Check credentials.Either code, or username with password, or jwt has to be provided

CODE testest in python:

from ringcentral import SDK
import os,sys

rcsdk = SDK( os.environ.get('RC_CLIENT_ID'),
os.environ.get('RC_CLIENT_SECRET'),
os.environ.get('RC_SERVER_URL') )
platform = rcsdk.platform()

try:
platform.login( jwt=os.environ.get('RC_JWT') )
except Exception as e:
print(e)
sys.exit("Unable to authenticate to platform. Check credentials." + str(e))

print(f'Login with JWT successful.')



My app works fine with a user login and password, which is not practical for distribution or as secure as a JWT.

My guess is that you forgot to update the RingCentral Python SDK. Please double check to reinstall.

This code works perfectly for me

from ringcentral import SD

RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTID = ''
RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTSECRET = ''
RINGCENTRAL_SERVER = 'https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com'

rcsdk = SDK( RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTID, RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTSECRET, RINGCENTRAL_SERVER)
platform = rcsdk.platform()

JWT_TOKEN = "jwt-token"

try:
platform.login( jwt=JWT_TOKEN )
params = {
'dateFrom': "2012-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
}
resp = platform.get('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/call-log', params)
for record in resp.json().records:
print ("Call type: " + record.type)
except Exception as e:
print ("Unable to authenticate to platform. Check credentials." + str(e))

Hi @Fausto Chepil here is a sample project on GitHub that you can clone/download and run it. Just make sure to update the .env file with your credentials including JWT and it should work. The code is in Nodejs, if you need help with Python specifically let us know but with this app you can make sure your credentials and settings are all correct.


Thank you again Phong!

I should have you on speed dial :)


Ringcentral was up to date, but its dependencies were not:

pubnub

requests

Thanks again!


Thank you Suyash.
