Flower Http Api get Celery task details

Question

I have a working celery flower project.
Now I want some celery failed task details using flower http api, but my celery is using --basic-auth for authentication and when I make a request at flower http api on http://localhost:5555/api/tasks it timeouts and does not show any results.

I did not understand if this is an auth problem or something else. I look to flower docs but i did not get any idea. Thanks for you time. Below is the code that is not working for me.

import requests

params = (('state', 'FAILURE'),('limit', '5'),)

requests.get('http://localhost:5555/api/tasks', params=params)

Answer 1

Then you should make your request with your credentials:

1. Import HTTPBasicAuth (since you are using --basic-auth):

   from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
   

2. Make an authenticated request:

   requests.get(
       'http://localhost:5555/api/tasks', 
       auth=HTTPBasicAuth('your_user', 'your_pass'), 
       params=params
   )
   

Good luck :)
