Python Requests Module

Python Requests module is an HTTP library that helps you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. This module is used for making HTTP requests to any external resources. It is a Python package that allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily.

To use this module, you first need to install it by running the following command:

!pip install requests

Using Requests Module

To use the requests module, you need to import it first:

import requests

After importing the module, you can create a request to a URL using the requests.get() method. This method returns the response from the server.

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

You can then access the status code of the response using response.status_code.

print(response.status_code)

The output will be:

200

Request Parameters

The requests.get() method also allows you to pass parameters with your request. These parameters are passed as a dictionary:

payload = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
response = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/get', params=payload)

This will send a GET request to https://httpbin.org/get with the parameters 'key1': 'value1' and 'key2': 'value2'.

HTTP Post Request

The requests.post() method is used to send HTTP POST requests to the server. You can pass data in the form of a dictionary using the data parameter:

payload = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
response = requests.post('https://httpbin.org/post', data=payload)

This will send a POST request to https://httpbin.org/post with the data 'key1': 'value1' and 'key2': 'value2'.

HTTP Headers

You can also send HTTP headers with your requests using 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://httpbin.org/headers', headers=headers)

This will send a GET request to https://httpbin.org/headers with the specified HTTP headers.
