Any help greatly appreciated, first attempt at using the Strava API. I’m sure this is staring me in the face but i’ve run out of ideas.

So I can successfully use Postman to GET https://www.strava.com/api/v3/athlete with an Authorization header of {Bearer nnxxnnnxxnnxx….}. Returns my athlete details So far so good 

However when I try and run the simple Python script in the Strava Developer Docs (below) I replace ‘YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN’ with any of these variations then I get a 401 Unathorised and an Invalid Access Token error 

swagger_client.configuration.access_token = 'Authorization: Bearer nnxxnnnxxnnxx….'

or

swagger_client.configuration.access_token = 'Bearer nnxxnnnxxnnxx….'

or

swagger_client.configuration.access_token = 'nnxxnnnxxnnxx….'

HTTP response body: {"message":"Authorization Error","errors":"{"resource":"Athlete","field":"access_token","code":"invalid"}]}

import time
import swagger_client
from swagger_client.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint

# Configure OAuth2 access token for authorization: strava_oauth
swagger_client.configuration.access_token = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

# create an instance of the API class
api_instance = swagger_client.AthletesApi()

try: 
    # Get Authenticated Athlete
    api_response = api_instance.getLoggedInAthlete()
    pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
    print("Exception when calling AthletesApi->getLoggedInAthlete: %s\n" % e)

Am I just making some terrible noob formatting error for the access_token or is there something else i’m missing?

I’m getting the access_token from my API page. I refreshed before I started doing this and it’s not expired, and it works fine on Postman.
