import requests
​
API_KEY = "qfNfdijpFhbhPhA7j2ZxvtEGkfv8DftTtmTEbnWN"
API_ENDPOINT = "https://api.craft.co/v1/query"
GRAPHQL_QUERY = """
    query getAlerts($first: Int!) { 
        alerts(first: $first) {
            id
            dataset
            variable
        }
    }
"""
​
request_headers= { "x-craft-api-key": API_KEY }
request_data = {
    "query": GRAPHQL_QUERY,
    "variables": { "first": 3 }
}
​
response = requests.post(API_ENDPOINT, json=request_data, headers=request_headers, timeout=30)
response_data = response.json()
​
print(response_data)
