If you are a Python developer who works on Windows, you might have encountered situations where you want to send HTTP requests from your Python script. One of the most popular libraries for sending HTTP requests in Python is the Requests module. In this post, I will explain how you can install and use the Requests module on Windows.

The easiest way to install the Requests module on Windows is to use pip, which is the package installer for Python. To install pip, you can follow the instructions on this page. Once you have pip installed, you can open a command prompt and run the following command:

Sending HTTP Requests

Now that you have installed the Requests module, you can use it to send HTTP requests from your Python script. The Requests module provides a simple and easy-to-use interface for sending HTTP requests.

  • GET Request: To send a GET request, you can use the get method of the requests module. Here is an example:

      print(response.json())
