Python Code to Get User Details and to delete or disable sophos UTM 9 user

Question

I was trying with the below code to get groups and users in that group.. but i am getting null output with success code! Is that right way to follow the url pattern to get users? import requests
import base64
import json
import time
from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)

NETWORK_GROUP ='READONLY'
NETWORK_GROUP_MEMBERS = 'username'

def main():
 try:
 url = ("https:XXXXXX:1234/api/objects/network/group/")
 #headers = {"Authorization": "Basic %s" % SOPHOS_TOKEN , 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
 headers={
 'content_type': 'application/json'
 }
 obj = {"name": NETWORK_GROUP, "members":NETWORK_GROUP_MEMBERS}
 response = requests.get(url, verify=False, headers = headers, json=obj, auth=('username', 'pswrd'))
 time.sleep(5)
 print(response) # getting 200 success code
 print(response.json()) # printing [] null output
 except Exception as e:
 print(e)
if __name__ == '__main__':
 main()

Hi. 
 You can't replace aaa. You have to get all groups calling /objects/aaa/group . Then you filter the result with all groups to get the group "READONLY" by name. Then you get the members array from the group object. 
 
 def main():
 try:
 url = (API_ENDPOINT + "/objects/aaa/group/")
 headers={
 'content_type': 'application/json'
 }
 response = requests.get(url, verify=False, headers = headers, json=obj, auth=(API_USER, API_TOKEN))
 print(response) # getting 200 success code

 # transform into python dict
 groups = json.loads(response.text)

 # show all groups
 print(groups)

 # get group with name readonly
 group_readonly = [x for x in groups if x['name'] == 'READONLY']

 # print readonly group
 print(group_readonly)

 # print refs of members in group (no check if group exists!!!)
 group_members = group_readonly[0]['members']
 print(group_members)

 # now iterate over refs to get user 
 # details call /object/aaa/user/{ref}
 except Exception as e:
 print(e)
if __name__ == '__main__':
 main() 
 The code above is just an example. But be aware. I'm not a python developer.
