Sending data Curl/Json in Python

Question

I`m trying to make those 2 requests in python:

Request 1:

 curl -X POST -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -d \'{ \"auth_token\": \"auth1\", \"w         


        

Answer 1

Requests provides you with the simplest and yet (very) powerful way to deal with HTTP requests in Python.

Maybe try something like this:

import requests
import simplejson as json

url = "http://ip:port"
data = {'auth_token': 'auth1', 'widget': 'id1', 'title': 'Something1', 'text': 'Some text', 'moreinfo': 'Subtitle'}
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json'}
r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)

If the API requests authentication:

r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers, auth=('user', 'pass'))

See [Requests auth] for details.
