Python in Request Module

Python requests module is a popular HTTP library used for making HTTP requests in Python. It simplifies the process of sending HTTP/1.1 requests and handling responses. The request module allows you to send HTTP requests using Python.

Installation of Request Module

The requests module can be installed using pip, which is the package installer for Python. In the command prompt, use the following command to install the requests module:


!pip install requests

HTTP Requests using Request Module

You can make HTTP requests using the request module in Python. The HTTP request methods supported by the request module are:

  • GET
  • POST
  • PUT
  • DELETE
  • HEAD
  • OPTIONS

The following code shows an example of how to make a GET request using the request module:


import requests

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

print(response.content)

The above code sends a GET request to http://example.com and prints the response content.

Syntax Highlighting using highlight.js

To add syntax highlighting to your code snippets in HTML, you can use highlight.js. Highlight.js is a syntax highlighter written in JavaScript and supports a wide range of programming languages.

To use highlight.js, you need to include the highlight.js script and CSS files in your HTML file. You can download the latest version of highlight.js from their website or use a CDN link. Here is an example:


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/highlight.js/11.2.0/styles/default.min.css">
  <script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/highlight.js/11.2.0/highlight.min.js"></script>
  <script>hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();</script>
</head>
<body>
  <pre><code class="language-python">
    import requests

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

    print(response.content)
  </code></pre>
</body>
</html>

The above code includes the highlight.js stylesheet and script files and initializes syntax highlighting on page load. The code snippet is wrapped inside the

 tags with the class "language-python".

Conclusion

The request module is a powerful library for making HTTP requests in Python. It simplifies the process of sending HTTP/1.1 requests and handling responses. With syntax highlighting using highlight.js, you can make your code snippets more readable and visually appealing.
