Your curl command is likely to the code. When you do not know what it supports to. You can curl --help or use curl ... --trace-ascii 1.txt to figure out the process

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import requests

url = "https://api_url"
headers = {"Accept": "application/json"}
auth = HTTPBasicAuth('apikey', '1234abcd')
files = {'filename': open('filename','rb')}

req = requests.get(url, headers=headers , auth=auth , files=files)
