401 error from using bearer token right after completing code flow in onenote

Question

I checked here One Note Api rejects Bearer Token, Error 401. and my scopes are good.

For step 2 of code flow my "Scopes" say office.onenote office.onenote_create office.onenote_update_by_app office.onenote_update wl.offline_access when receiving the access_token

so I take the access_token and do a requests

headers={"Authorization" : "Bearer " + x['access_token'], 'Accept': 'application/json'}
r=requests.get( url=url,data = headers)

r.status_code=401

I earlier used the same requests command for a Token flow to get the access_token and it worked fine.

Did u make the second GET request in the same script? – Salman Jun 26 '19 at 12:33 — Salman, Jun 26 '19 at 12:33

You should use the headers argument to set the headers :

r=requests.get(url=url, headers=headers)

The data argument is used to send post data in post requests.

that worked. I'm not sure why `data=headers` worked that other time. – jason May 24 '17 at 02:59
