I ask this question having run out of ideas - I assumed I was doing something stupid but even if I am I can't figure out what... I'm new to python having drifted away from coding 10 years ago but I was reasonably proficient once :-D I've written a python script to query a google CSE and search for relevant items, and the idea is that it will check a Podio materials list to see if they are already listed there. So at the moment all I want to do is authenticate with Podio and grab items so I can query them in my app.
I'm trying to connect to the Podio API using the prescribed method in the docs (and in questions here, and everywhere else I have looked)
At this point literally all this script is doing is this except for the credentials replaced with the actual strings, just in case I was missing some python variable madness.
import pypodio2
from pypodio2.api import OAuthClient
c = OAuthClient(
"<myappID>",
'<myAPIkey>',
'<myusername>',
'<mypassword>'
)
I'm using pythonanywhere as a sandbox and I am running the script from a bash console, I get this
16:26 ~/mysite $ python apitest.py

The password, key etc are correct. The username is correct. The clientID is correct. So I must be missing something that is obvious to people used to working with APIs. Mustn't I? Thanks :)
