Introduction
Welcome to my 89th blog post on the Python journey. On day 89, I learned about an 'HTTP' library 'REQUEST' MODULE in Python that can be used to send HTTP requests to interact with API's and web services. Let's dive into more details and understand Request module in Python.
So let's get started......
Request Module
It is an HTTP library that can be used to send HTTP requests in Python by the developers.
This module sends HTTP requests and makes it possible to interact with APIs and web services.
Install Request Module using the below syntax
pip install requests
Get Request
Once the installation is done of Request Module, we can start to send HTTP requests. Below is the example that sends GET request to Google homepage
import requests
response = requests.get("https://www.google.com")
print(response.text)
Post Request
Below is the example that sends Post request
import requests
url = "https://api.example.com/login"
headers = {
"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
data = {
"username": "myusername",
"password": "mypassword"
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
print(response.text)
In this example, we send a POST request to a web service to authenticate a user.
bs4 Module
BeautifulSoup is a module that can be used for web scraping in Python that uses HTTP requests.
