Seem cannot make connection now

[yardern]

Thank you very much for developing this software!

I am using the fork by @kerouac01850.
When trying to connect, I got:
"Failed to authenticate using Questrade token ..."

But the same token worked when I used Chrome to browse:
https://login.questrade.com/oauth2/token?grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=x....x
I got proper response, not "Bad Request".

Hope this can be fixed.

For me I found the user-agent was blocked. I updated these: ``` questrade_api/auth.py: r = urlopen(Request(self.config['Auth']['RefreshURL'].format(token), headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla'})) questrade_api/questrade.py: return urllib.request.Request(url, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla'}) questrade_api/questrade.py: return urllib.request.Request(self.__base_url + url, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla'}) questrade_api/questrade.py: return urllib.request.Request(url, data=json.dumps(params).encode('utf8'), headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla'}) ```

Thank you! I have sent e-mail to Questrade, hope them will answer me.

For me I found the user-agent was blocked. I updated these:

questrade_api/auth.py:
r = urlopen(Request(self.config['Auth']['RefreshURL'].format(token), headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla'}))

Thank you!

I followed your solution, but for questrade_api/auth.py, yours is not accepted, so I changed it to:
r = request.urlopen(self.config['Auth']['RefreshURL'].format(token),headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla'})

But sadly it didn't work.

Very appreciated for your quick response.
My knowledge of python is very limited, without your help I would not be able to figure it out by myself.

I changed the import in questrade_api/auth.py to:
from urllib.request import urlopen, Request

Together with the 3 mods to questrade_api/questrade.py you provided before, somehow it is still not connecting.
The script would abort with "Bad Request" at:
r = urlopen(Request(self.config['Auth']['RefreshURL'].format(token), headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla'}))

I don't know how frequent I can request the connection, but right after that I tried with Chrome, and got proper responses. If I try more it will fail.

Changed the related section of questrade_api/auth.py to:

    req = urllib.request.Request(self.config['Auth']['RefreshURL'].format(token), headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"})
    with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as response:
        if response.getcode() == 200:
              ......

Made it working!

Thanks and Cheers!
