can you suggest an alternative for platform.login

i recently started experimenting in the RingCentral sandbox environment and facing issues with this part of the code

rcsdk = SDK(CLIENTID,CLIENTSECRET,SERVERURL)
platform = rcsdk.platform()
try:
    platform.login(USERNAME,EXTENSION,PASSWORD,JWT)
except Exception as e:
  sys.exit("Unable to authenticate to platform. Check credentials." + str(e))

I went to know if there is an alternative to code

Answer

Looking at your code snippet, I can see that the platform.login() function signature is incorrect as you are passing extra argument.

Correct function signatures in Python are:

1. Logging with username, password flow: platform.login(USERNAME, EXTENSION, PASSWORD)

2. Logging with JWT : platform.login( jwt=JWT_TOKEN )

Make sure to replace the UPPERCASE String with the actual credential found in RingCentral Developer Portal for your app’s sandbox environment and it should work.
