Azure Devops - Python API - Simple request example

api.py

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import logging
import sys
import json

def getApi(uri, token):
    try:
        resp = requests.get(uri,auth=HTTPBasicAuth('',token))
        parsed = json.loads(resp.text)
        print(json.dumps(parsed, indent=4, sort_keys=True))

    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(e)

# Pass in PAT token or $(System.AccessToken) as an argument and run an API request
getApi(uri='https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/<ORG>/<PROJECT>/_apis/release/definitions/?api-version=5.1', token=sys.argv[1])

There seems to be nothing on the internet about this just stupid complicated examples. This is a really basic Python API call to the AzureDevOps API. Enough to get you started.
