Get Python Requests

Python requests library provides an easy and convenient way to send HTTP requests using Python. It allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. In this post, we will show you how to install and use Python requests library.

Installation

You can install requests via pip or easy_install. Just open your terminal and type the following command:

pip install requests

If you don't have pip installed, you can use easy_install:

easy_install requests

Usage

After installing the requests library, you can start using it in your Python code. Here's a simple example that sends a GET request:

import requests

response = requests.get('https://www.example.com')

print(response.text)

This code will send a GET request to the specified URL and print the response content. You can also send other types of requests like POST, PUT, DELETE, etc. by using the corresponding methods of the requests library.

If you want to add headers or data to your request, you can use the headers and data parameters:

import requests

headers = {
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.97 Safari/537.36'
}

data = {
    'name': 'John',
    'age': 25
}

response = requests.post('https://www.example.com', headers=headers, data=data)

print(response.text)

This code will send a POST request to the specified URL with the specified headers and data.

These are just a few examples of how you can use the Python requests library. It's a very powerful tool that can greatly simplify your HTTP requests in Python.
