Specklepy Authentication & SSL Certificate

Hello I am having difficulty when starting out with Specklepy and following the example and tutorials in the documentation.

When I try and use either StreamWrapper or SpeckleClient to talk to my server it is throwing the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\UKBWS001\dev\specklepy\app.py", line 5, in <module>

I am using these links for my Host:
https://app.speckle.systems/ + Access Token

or

https://app.speckle.systems/projects/14ab4b0266
when using the StreamWrapper

Hey @Ben-Sayers_wsp,

Welcome to the community! :cool_spockle:

Funnily enough, we were just speaking about this method of authentication yesterday. Some questions off the bat:

  • I believe the Host url will be just the https://app.speckle.systems/ without the access token
  • Assuming the access token has also been created in the app.speckle.systems (with adequate permissions)? Do you by chance also have an account under latest.speckle.systems that is linked to manager? Or multiple accounts linked to manager? For example, I have two below:

  • Could you try a different route of authentication for me:
# Global variables
SPECKLE_TOKEN="ADD_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
SPECKLE_SERVER_URL="https://app.speckle.systems/"
SPECKLE_PROJECT_ID="14ab4b0266" # Grabbed from your link, thanks!

# Authentications
client = SpeckleClient(host=SPECKLE_SERVER_URL)
client.authenticate_with_token(SPECKLE_TOKEN) # Confirm if this works please

# Taking it one step further
transport = ServerTransport(client=client, stream_id=SPECKLE_PROJECT_ID)
project = client.stream.get(id=SPECKLE_PROJECT_ID)
main_model = client.branch.get(SPECKLE_PROJECT_ID, 'main')

Cheers,
Björn

Hi bjoer,

Thank you for your quick response!

I have tried your snippet and having the same issues.

This is my current python file with my access token replaced for the generated one on my developer profile.

from specklepy.api.client import SpeckleClient
from specklepy.transports.server import ServerTransport

# Global variables
SPECKLE_TOKEN="MY-ACCESS-TOKEN"
SPECKLE_SERVER_URL="https://app.speckle.systems/"
SPECKLE_PROJECT_ID="14ab4b0266" # Grabbed from your link, thanks!

# Authentications
client = SpeckleClient(host=SPECKLE_SERVER_URL)
client.authenticate_with_token(SPECKLE_TOKEN) # Confirm if this works please

# Taking it one step further
transport = ServerTransport(client=client, stream_id=SPECKLE_PROJECT_ID)
project = client.stream.get(id=SPECKLE_PROJECT_ID)
main_model = client.branch.get(SPECKLE_PROJECT_ID, 'main')

This is my Speckle Manager

My Access token permissions are:
workspace: create / read / delete / update

This is the recent error log:

Specklepy is installed in my active virtual environment

Aha, thanks for the extra info @Ben-Sayers_wsp. Can you try creating a new token and extend the scope to also add streams:read, streams:write, profile:read.

Kindly also have a look here QGIS: SSLError, A failure in the SSL library occured - #20 by JoostGevaert
