Python Requests - Posting Multiple Files

Python requests module is used to send HTTP requests and get the response from the server. It makes working with HTTP requests and responses easier and more convenient. Using requests module, we can easily send POST requests to a server along with multiple files.

When we want to upload multiple files to a server, we can use the HTTP POST method. The requests module provides a simple and convenient way to send POST requests with files. We can use the requests.post() method to send the POST request with files.

Example:


import requests

url = 'https://example.com/upload'
files = {'file1': open('file1.txt', 'rb'), 'file2': open('file2.txt', 'rb')}

response = requests.post(url, files=files)

print(response.status_code)

In the above example, we are sending a POST request to the URL https://example.com/upload with two files 'file1.txt' and 'file2.txt'. The files are passed as a dictionary in the files parameter of the requests.post() method.

We can also pass additional data along with the files in the POST request. This data can be passed as a dictionary in the data parameter of the requests.post() method. For example:

Example:


import requests

url = 'https://example.com/upload'
files = {'file1': open('file1.txt', 'rb'), 'file2': open('file2.txt', 'rb')}
data = {'name': 'John Doe', 'email': '[email protected]'}

response = requests.post(url, files=files, data=data)

print(response.status_code)

In the above example, we are passing additional data in the POST request along with the files. The data is passed as a dictionary in the data parameter of the requests.post() method.

We can also pass headers in the POST request using the headers parameter of the requests.post() method. For example:

Example:


import requests

url = 'https://example.com/upload'
files = {'file1': open('file1.txt', 'rb'), 'file2': open('file2.txt', 'rb')}
data = {'name': 'John Doe', 'email': '[email protected]'}
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer token123'}

response = requests.post(url, files=files, data=data, headers=headers)

print(response.status_code)

In the above example, we are passing headers in the POST request using the headers parameter of the requests.post() method. The headers are passed as a dictionary with key-value pairs.

In conclusion, we can use the Python requests module to easily send POST requests with multiple files to a server. We can pass additional data and headers along with the files in the POST request to provide more information to the server.
