Example Python: Checking the Response Body for New Token - Precisely_EnterWorks - EnterWorks - 11.0

   searchBody = {
       "repositoryId": 10149,

   if 'epimresttoken' in searchResult:
   
      epimresttoken = searchResult['epimresttoken']

      print('setting the epimresttoken ' + epimresttoken )
   
   
      reqHeaders['epimresttoken'] = epimresttoken
      
   ntime = datetime.now()
   
  
   print( 'elapsed='+str( ntime - startDatetime)+'  searchResult loop iteration='+str(iteration)+' page=' +str(page)+'  length='+str(len(searchResult['data']['itemList'])) + ' of ' + str(searchResult['data']['searchTotal']) )

   return  searchResult['data']['searchTotal'] > ( pageSize * page ) and searchResult['data']['returnTotal'] == pageSize

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------#


iteration = 1
onPage = 1
keepGo = 1

while 1:
    #--- Loop through the repository data. ---*
    while keepGo:
      keepGo = doSearch( onPage, iteration )
      onPage += 1
      time.sleep(60)
      
    print('starting loop over again')
    onPage = 1
    keepGo = 1
    iteration += 1
   

If you run the code above and your repository contains over 10,000 records, then your console output will display similar to the following:

Notice that after 30 pages of data (30 minutes), the Python program detects the new token and uses it. This logic is around Lines 36 and 38.

After 24 hours the ewtoken expires. The reauth() discovers this, then reauthorizes the token.
