Swis Client Certificate Authentication

Hello,

Is orion-sdk support certificate based authentication or API tokens generation ? Any examples on how to do that and query samples ?

I cant seem to find any documentation or guidance about how to do that

import orionsdk

swis = orionsdk.SwisClient("SolarWinds-Orion", "username", "password", verify="server.pem")

swis.query("SELECT NodeID from Orion.Nodes")

Hello,

Orion API uses basic authentication. This Post may be helpful to learn more. https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/Discussions/API-REST-Authentication-Question/td-p/308151

@KMSigma.SWI recently delivered a great lab episode Oron SDK 101 https://orangematter.solarwinds.com/2020/04/15/orion-sdk-101-intro-to-powershell-and-orion-api-solarwinds-lab-episode-86

@micheal100 also created the following blog post which I highly recommend to anyone getting started with the API https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/Product-Blog/Intro-to-API-SDK-SWQL/ba-p/506794

The Orion SDK Wiki is available here

I'm guessing from the text that you are trying to integrate using python. Is that correct?

If so, then it looks like you are referencing https://github.com/solarwinds/orionsdk-python/. If that's the case, did you download a copy of the certificate to use SSL Certificate Validation portion?
