Download Tool - API requiring Client Certificate for SSL

[lukasjonsson]

Hi 

Is there any update on the Alteryx Download Tool lacking the function to pass API with Client Certificate for SSL? 

I've read another thread on this topic, but I feel as it is inconclusive: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Dev-Space/Download-Tool-API-requiring-Client-Certificate-for-SSL/td... 

I have experience with Python, but I don't know how to incorporate the Python coding into the Alteryx Download Tool, hence why I need your help.

If you have any suggestions or solutions, please share it here.

Best regards,

Lukas

Hi @lukasjonsson 

I had a similar issue and was attempting to use the Python tool instead. @BrandonB  provided me with a link to a resource using Python that helped - https://www.techcoil.com/blog/how-to-send-a-http-request-with-client-certificate-private-key-passwor...

Hopefully that helps a little!

@lukasjonsson you would use the actual Python tool rather than the Download tool. You can find the Python tool in the "Developer" category and read more about it here: https://help.alteryx.com/20214/designer/python-tool 

At the end of your Python code within the tool, you can use this snippet to write a dataframe out of the tool and back into the workflow

Alteryx.write(PANDAS_DATAFRAME, OUTPUT_ANCHOR_NUM)
