I am new to gerrit. I am using gerrit V. 2.6 . I want to use gerrit REST APIs in my python script. But not able to figure out how to use it. I tried below code but getting errors.

curl --digest --user user:password http://server/a/changes/path/to/project~branch~change_id/rebase

getting error :

<title>401 Authorization Required</title>

</head><body>

<h1>Authorization Required</h1>

<p>This server could not verify that you

are authorized to access the document

requested. Either you supplied the wrong

credentials (e.g., bad password), or your

browser doesn't understand how to supply

the credentials required.</p>

</body></html>

Am I missing something.??

what's your server's authentication configuration (section auth [1]) ?

Are you using the HTTP password from the Gerrit WebUI that Gerrit generated for you?

Settings --> HTTP Password

If you are not using the HTTP password, then yes, it is expected that this fails.

The password is wrong. Generate HTTP password in

User => Settings => HTTP Password

and use generated password in command.
