Is there a way to call Azure Devops via python using 'requests'?

So, from what I see from most sources, they say if youre trying to make a python program call azure devops api calls, it uses a python import statement such as :

from azure.devops.connection import Connection
from msrest.authentication import BasicAuthentication
...

Is there any way to use requests or other built in import statements so I dont have to install these devops specific modules? I'm coding in putty so I dont have a way to install these modules.

If anyone's got any solutions or ideas I'd be happy to hear it!

Surely, it is supported to use requests to call Azure DevOps REST API

Firstly, you need to create a personal access token (PAT)

Then you can use the PAT to create the basic auth header, and make the request:

import requests
import base64

pat = 'tcd******************************tnq'
authorization = str(base64.b64encode(bytes(':'+pat, 'ascii')), 'ascii')

headers = {
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Basic '+authorization
}

response = requests.get(
    url="https://dev.azure.com/jack0503/_apis/projects?api-version=5.1", headers=headers)
print(response.text)
