Python Requests Verbose Explained

If you are working with Python Requests library and want to see what's actually happening behind the scenes when you send a request, you can use the "verbose" option. This will print out detailed information about the request and response, including the headers, status code, and any cookies that are set.

To use "verbose" option, you simply need to set it to "True" when making a request using Requests library.

Example code:


import requests

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

print(response.content)

In the above example, we are making a GET request to "https://www.example.com" and enabling the verbose option. This will print out detailed information about the request and response.

You can also use the "verbose" option with other HTTP methods like POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.

Multiple ways to enable verbose mode:

  • You can set the "verbose" parameter to "True" when making a request as shown in the above example.
  • You can also set the "DEBUG" level to "True" for the underlying logging module. This will enable verbose logging for all HTTP requests in your application.

Example code for enabling DEBUG level logging:


import logging
import requests

logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

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

print(response.content)

In the above example, we are setting the logging level to DEBUG and making a GET request to "https://www.example.com". This will enable verbose logging for all HTTP requests in your application.

Using verbose mode can be helpful when debugging HTTP requests and responses in your Python application. It provides detailed information about what's happening under the hood and can help you identify and fix issues quickly.
