Python Requests Library Import

If you want to send HTTP/1.1 requests using Python, you can use the Python Requests library. Requests is a powerful HTTP library that makes it easy to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely quickly, without the need for manual labor.

To use the Requests library, you first need to install it using pip:


    !pip install requests

Once installed, you can import the requests library using the following code:


    import requests

If you want to make a GET request to a URL using Requests, you can use the following code:


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

The response object will contain the response from the server. If you want to see the content of the response, you can use the content attribute:


    print(response.content)

If you want to make a POST request with data using Requests, you can use the following code:


    data = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
    response = requests.post('https://www.example.com', data=data)

If you want to add headers to your request, you can pass a dictionary of headers to the headers parameter:


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

You can also pass parameters to your request using the params parameter:


    params = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
    response = requests.get('https://www.example.com', params=params)

These are just a few examples of the many things you can do with Requests. To learn more, I recommend checking out the documentation for the library.
