python base64 requests jq and terraform

base64 user auth in requests

use the base64 for the first header and then reuse the bearer token that you get back.

import requests
import json
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

    headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Accept': 'application/json'
    }
    
    base_url = 'https://www.something.com'
    token_url = "/tauth/1.0/token/"
    url=base_url + token_url
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(USER, PASSWORD))
    data = response.json()
    
    #reusing that bearer token from the repsonse
    headers = {
        'Authorization': f"Bearer {data['token']}",
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Accept': 'application/json'
    }
    url="/something/"
    response=requests.get( url, headers=headers)
    data = response.json()

using jq with terraform

taking a terraform plan and outputting only the things that will change on the plan. such as only the resource names.
this is useful when you need to do some targeted deploys.

terraform plan -input=false -compact-warnings -out plan.tfplan;  
terraform show -no-color -json plan.tfplan | jq -r '.resource_changes[] | select(.change.actions[0]=="update" or .change.actions[0]=="create" or .change.actions[0]=="create") | .address'
