When I call the Gitlab API, searching for a User named Ed I get this Error.
I have tried curling the API outside of Python and I do not receive this error.
import requests
r = requests.post("https://git.deploys.io/api/v4/users?username=Ed", headers={"PRIVATE-TOKEN":"Removed Token"})
print(r)
It should return []
as if no user was found or it should return a JSON with the Users information.
Check out what is returned: the GitLab Users API page does mention:
If an error occurs a
400 Bad Request
is returned with a message explaining the error.
That, or it is a server-side issue, as in gitlab-com/support-forum
issue 2720
The 400 errors were caused by a server side check that required a
User-Agent
header to be provided.
That's why only particular clients were affected.
