It looks like you are passing { and } in your bearer value. Try 'Bearer xxcxcxcxc' instead of 'Bearer {xxcxcxcxc}'.

Remove the accept header, you are trying to make a get request (I just tried this and it works). If you look at the cUrl that is generated via Postman you will see it doesn't pass an accept header for gets.

From your screenshot it also looks like you are missing the "/orders" path after the merchant id.

url = "https://apisandbox.dev.clover.com/v3/merchants/XXXX"

payload={}

headers = {

'accept': 'application/json',

'Authorization': 'Bearer xcxcxcxcx'

}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

This worked.

Thanks
