Authentication

Pass either an API key or a username/password (cookie/login auth):

from pygazelle import OrpheusClient

OrpheusClient(api_key="...")                       # API-key auth
OrpheusClient(username="user", password="pass")    # cookie/login auth

Generate an API key in your tracker's user settings.

Per-tracker differences

Orpheus and RED expect different Authorization header formats — the client handles this for you:

• Orpheus uses Authorization: token <key>.
• RED uses a bare Authorization: <key> header and requires a User-Agent.

This is wired up in the client subclasses and the transport layer, so you only ever pass your credentials.

Live API care

Never loop requests against a tracker after an auth error — repeated failed auth can get you banned. Verify credentials with a single request.
