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

Some api-servers expect json-array as value in the url query string. The requests params doesn't create json array as value for parameters.

The way I fixed this on a similar problem was to use urllib.parse.urlencode to encode the query string, add it to the url and pass it to requests

e.g.

from urllib.parse import urlencode
query_str = urlencode(params)
url = "?" + query_str
response = requests.get(url, params={}, headers=headers)
