Forigate 6.0.10 API python return code 401

Hello,

I Using the next python code:

import  requests
import json
api_url='https://x.x.x.x/api/v2/monitor/system/config/backup?scope=global&access_token=MYTOKEN'
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()
data=requests.get(api_url,verify=False)
print(data.status_code)
print(data)
'''Get license status'''  

when i run this code i get error code 401

for the API profile i allowed read/write.

 

Please someone can share with me python code that work with fortigate API ?
and why my code is not working...

The 401 response code is most likely caused by invalid API key (access_token).

I run the following debug commands:

 (global) # diagnose debug resetA
 (global) # diagnose debug enable
 (global) # diagnose debug application httpsd -1
Debug messages will be on for 30 minutes.

I get errror :  Peer not trusted:

Are you connecting to the API from a trusted host?

Yes for the check i configure 0.0.0.0
Also if i copy the api request and put it on my browser this work.

If i run the api request from python i get error..

You can’t set 0.0.0.0, when you use api key, try to set specific host.
