I’ve been unsuccessful in trying to export data from [emoncms.org](http://emoncms.org) using the read only apikey provided. I can only export data using the read/write apikey. Is your system generating the correct read only apikey?

Python code:  
import requests  
import json  
apikey = “my-read-only-api-key”  
params = {“apikey”: apikey}  
headers = {“Content-type”: “application/json”,  
‘Authorization’: 'Bearer '+ apikey}  
url = “[Emoncms - user login](https://emoncms.org/input/get&apikey=)”+apikey  
response = requests.get(url, params=params, headers=headers)  
print(response.status\_code)  
print(response.content)
