api – Constructing requests with URL Query String in Python

To perform GET requests with URL query string:

import requests

params = {
    action: subscribe,
    callbackurl: ,
    comment: ,
    oauth_consumer_key: ,
    oauth_nonce: ,
    # more key=value pairs as appeared in your query string
}
r = requests.get(http://wbsapi.withings.net/notify, params=params)

With that cleared, now you just need to follow the workflow documented on http://www.withings.com/en/api/oauthguide and implement them

Upon receiving your OAuth Key and OAuth Secret, perform a GET request with the following endpoint and query string which will give you back token:

https://oauth.withings.com/account/request_token?
oauth_callback=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fget_access_token
&oauth_consumer_key=c331c571585e7c518c78656f41582e96fc1c2b926cf77648223dd76424b52b
&oauth_nonce=f71972b1fa93b8935ccaf34ee02d7657
&oauth_signature=J8xzgFtHTsSRw8Ejc8UDV2jls34%3D
&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1
&oauth_timestamp=1311778988
&oauth_version=1.0
Then you need to authorize the token you received with the following request which will give you the user_id:

https://oauth.withings.com/account/authorize?
oauth_callback=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fget_access_token
&oauth_consumer_key=c331c571585e7c518c78656f41582e96fc1c2b926cf77648223dd76424b52b
&oauth_nonce=369f9ceb2f285ac637c9a7e9e98019bd
&oauth_signature=OR9J9iEl%2F2yGOXP2wk5c2%2BWtYvU%3D
&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1
&oauth_timestamp=1311778988
&oauth_token=5bb105d2292ff43ec9c0f633fee9033045ed4643e9871b80ce586dc1bf945
&oauth_version=1.0
Then you need to request the access_token by hitting this endpoint with some more query string:

https://oauth.withings.com/account/access_token?
oauth_consumer_key=c331c571585e7c518c78656f41582e96fc1c2b926cf77648223dd76424b52b
&oauth_nonce=7acd22371fc56fd8a0aaf8416f79f84f
&oauth_signature=jmj1g%2FB3rYR2DCpWp86jB5YVHIM%3D
&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1
&oauth_timestamp=1311778988
&oauth_token=5bb105d2292ff43ec9c0f633fee9033045ed4643e9871b80ce586dc1bf945
&oauth_version=1.0
&userid=831
Now you have everything needed to perform the aforementioned request in your question, and others, example directly from the documentation:

http://wbsapi.withings.com/measure?
action=getmeas
&oauth_consumer_key=c331c571585e7c518c78656f41582e96fc1c2b926cf77648223dd76424b52b
&oauth_nonce=accbac1b7ee2b86b828e6dc4a5a539b2
&oauth_signature=XfobZMboIg2cRyNKAvyzONHHnKM%3D
&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1
&oauth_timestamp=1311842514
&oauth_token=887557411788d5120537c6550fbf2df68921f8dd6f8c7e7f9b441941eb10
&oauth_version=1.0
&userid=831

Again, everything can be done without explicit oauth library as you can finish the workflow with requests.get and query string built from a dict feed into the params argument of the method.

I truly hope this helps you achieve your goal.

Heres a working example using the rauth client library. Full disclosure, Im the original rauth author. Hope this helps:

from rauth import OAuth1Service

withings = OAuth1Service(
        name=withings,
        consumer_key=fd5fe4002db502983fbd056fdf416941d83e15ecb68ee9eeb4978cb2370c,
        consumer_secret=29dbc46056c530814c2debcf24c76ff42f6cc66d0e3e5cfdef1e166725c6f,
        base_url=http://wbsapi.withings.net/notify,
        request_token_url=https://oauth.withings.com/account/request_token,
        authorize_url=http://oauth.withings.com/account/authorize,
        access_token_url=https://oauth.withings.com/account/access_token)

request_token, request_token_secret = withings.get_request_token()

callback = https://github.com/litl/rauth

authorize_url = withings.get_authorize_url(request_token,
                                           oauth_callback=callback)

print(Visit this URL in your browser: {url}.format(url=authorize_url))
userid = raw_input(Enter userid from browser URL: )

sess = withings.get_auth_session(request_token,
                                 request_token_secret,
                                 params={userid: userid})

print sess.get(measure, params={action: getmeas,
                                  userid: userid}).json()
