I’m using:

> **[GitHub - bondhome/bond-async: Asynchronous Python wrapper library over Bond...](https://github.com/bondhome/bond-async)**
>
> Asynchronous Python wrapper library over Bond Local API - GitHub - bondhome/bond-async: Asynchronous Python wrapper library over Bond Local API

with Python 3.9.2 (on a linux system)

I ran the Library Usage example program and received the following. Is there a compatibility issue?

Thanks.

Hey @tfcbbond

I’m not sure how this works, but it looks like there is some problem with your authorization.  
I tested it over here and I can perform a GET to the version endpoint with an invalid Token, but can’t do it on the devices endpoint.

Can you double-check your Bond Token? If that doesn’t fix it, I can check with @marcio next week (he’s out this week).

Thank you!

Ah, it wasn’t a token issue but rather how I entered the IP address and token.

The sample code includes the line:

bond = Bond(“[your ip or hostname here]”, “[your bond API token here]”)

Not being a Python programmer I simply assumed (bad idea) that the IP address and token were to be inserted between the symbols (as I recall that is a list in Python…could be very wrong). So the solution is quite simple:

bond = Bond(“your ip or hostname here”, “your bond API token here”)

The above works just fine for me.

Thanks.
