 Hello,

 

I'm trying to list users from the admin api. Our setup is the oauth setup with oauth1. I had our Alteryx SME setup an alteryx flow that does an authentication against the api and I am mimicing what his R implementation does but in python. The issue is I'm getting invalid HMAC signature. 

 

I was also able to find a python example online parsing through someone else's project and put it together. 

 

b'{"data":null,"exceptionName":"UnauthorizedException","innerExceptionMessage":"","message":"The provided signature(oauth_signature) is invalid."}'

 

I am using the admin keys from the setting page with api access enabled. That changed the message from invalid client secret and key to invalid signature. I've tried sending the signature as requests params and now as a combined url nothing seems to fix it.

 

Appreciate any help you can give here.
