Rasa X API Authentication

[Deprecated] Rasa X Community Edition
1

I want to tag conversations from custom actions in Rasa X. I see that this does not require any authentication, but deleting tags and viewing existing tags does. The docs say that authentication works with tokens, so I send username and password and get the token back. That seems to work fine.

def get_rasax_token():
    try:
        response = requests.post(
            RASA_X_API + "/auth",
            json = {"username": RASA_X_USER_NAME, "password": RASA_X_PASSWORD}
        )
        if response.status_code is not 200:
            raise Exception(f"Could not fetch a Rasa X API Token {response.text}")
        return response.json().get("access_token")
    except Exception as e:
        logging.exception(e)

RASA_X_TOKEN = get_rasax_token()

But I’m not sure how to include this token in the following calls.

def fetch_existing_tags():
    """
    Helper function to fetch existing tags from Rasa X,
    used to find to corresponding color, since both are needed to add a tag
    """
    try:
        response = requests.get(
            f"{RASA_X_API}/conversations/tags",
            headers={"api_token": RASA_X_TOKEN}
        )
    except Exception as e:
        logging.exception(e)
        return {}
    if response.status_code is not 200:
        print(response)
        logging.exception(f"Could not fetch existing conversation tags: {response.text}")
        return {}
    print(response.json())
    return {
        entry["tag"]: entry["color"]
        for entry in response.json()
    }

RASA_X_TAG_COLORS = fetch_existing_tags()

How do I correctly embedd the token in the call? I get a 401:

{"reasons":["Authorization header not present."],"exception":"Unauthorized"}

Hey! The deletion endpoints takes a JWT header. So the header you need to send is Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>. Let me know if that helps!
