Querystring Array Parameters in Python using Requests

Question

I have been trying to figure out how to use python-requests to send a request that the url looks like:

http://example.com/api/add.json?name=\'he         


        

Answer 1

One solution if using the requests module is not compulsory, is using the urllib/urllib2 combination:

payload = [('name', 'hello'), ('data[]', ('hello', 'world'))]
params = urllib.urlencode(payload, doseq=True)
sampleRequest = urllib2.Request('http://example.com/api/add.json?' + params)
response = urllib2.urlopen(sampleRequest)

Its a little more verbose and uses the doseq(uence) trick to encode the url parameters but I had used it when I did not know about the requests module.

For the requests module the answer provided by @Tomer should work.
