Data upload command not working for google app engine datastore (local version)

Question

This is the command that I am using. I have followed the steps in https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadingdata. When I use the same command for the same application that I have hosted on the web, the command works and I can see the data in the datastore. But the same command is not working for my local copy of the application. The error I am getting is:

HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
[ERROR ] Authentication Failed: Incorrect credentials or unsupported authentication type (e.g. OpenId).

But I am not really using any credentials to host it locally. Please help.

./appcfg.py upload_data --application=say_hello --config_file=bulkloader.yaml --filename=output.csv --kind=Dashboard --url=http:hostname:8080/_ah/remote_api

If your parameters are right but the authentication is failing, pass in the -oauth2 flag:

appcfg.py --oauth2 update app.yaml

Then the rest of your appcfg.py should authenticate. If it still doesn't work your appid or url is probably off.

if you are using mac, you should have administration privileges on your mac. if not, put sudo on the beginning of the command

I'm not exactly sure why that error gets raised unfortunately, all I know is that it can be solved by passing the --email flag. Simple run this and when it asks for a password, hit Enter.

appcfg.py upload_data --url=http://localhost:8080/_ah/remote_api/ --filename=output.csv --application=[your-app-id] [email protected] path/to/folder/containing/app/yaml/

Where [your-app-id] seems to be in the format dev~[application-name]. e.g dev~something-engine-v2.

NB: Also ensure HTTP, as I also got the same error when accidentally accessing localhost with HTTPS.

I was having this same problem, and it turned out to be that I had a wildcard rule that was getting in the way of the remote_api url.

Below is an excerpt of my app.yaml. (I was archiving a legacy app, so I didn't care that no one could access the site now.)

builtins:
- remote_api: on

handlers:

# - url: /.*
#   script: main.py
