You should use response.content in this case: with open(‘/tmp/metadata.pdf’, ‘wb’) as f: f.write(response.content) From the document: You can also access the response body as bytes, for non-text requests: >>> r.content b'[{“repository”:{“open_issues”:0,”url”:”https://github.com/… So that means: response.text return the output as a string object, use it when you’re downloading a text file. Such as HTML file, etc. … Read more
Don’t know if this has been solved yet but I was getting similar problems with Anaconda python 3.7.3 and Idle on Windows 10. Fixed it by adding: <path>\Anaconda3 <path>\Anaconda3\scripts <path>\Anaconda3\Library\bin to the PATH variable.
It seems the page rejects GET requests that do not identify a User-Agent. I visited the page with a browser (Chrome) and copied the User-Agent header of the GET request (look in the Network tab of the developer tools): import requests url=”http://worldagnetwork.com/” headers = {‘User-Agent’: ‘Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like … Read more
What is the default timeout that get uses? The default timeout is None, which means it’ll wait (hang) until the connection is closed. Just specify a timeout value, like this: r = requests.get( ‘http://www.example.com’, proxies={‘http’: ‘222.255.169.74:8080’}, timeout=5 )
To answer my own question, it appears my two examples above do the same thing and that using the json parameter does indeed set the content-type in the headers to application/json. In my first example above using the data parameter, the content-type in the headers would need to be set manually.
Your code is correct. I tested: r = requests.get(“http://www.google.com”) print(r.content) And it returned plenty of content. Check the url, try “http://www.google.com”. Cheers!
In python: (‘<MY_TOKEN>’) is equivalent to ‘<MY_TOKEN>’ And requests interprets (‘TOK’, ‘<MY_TOKEN>’) As you wanting requests to use Basic Authentication and craft an authorization header like so: ‘VE9LOjxNWV9UT0tFTj4K’ Which is the base64 representation of ‘TOK:<MY_TOKEN>’ To pass your own header you pass in a dictionary like so: r = requests.get(‘<MY_URI>’, headers={‘Authorization’: ‘TOK:<MY_TOKEN>’})
You are looking for the request history. The response.history attribute is a list of responses that led to the final URL, which can be found in response.url. response = requests.get(someurl) if response.history: print(“Request was redirected”) for resp in response.history: print(resp.status_code, resp.url) print(“Final destination:”) print(response.status_code, response.url) else: print(“Request was not redirected”) Demo: >>> import requests >>> … Read more
zsh uses square brackets for globbing / pattern matching. That means that if you need to pass literal square brackets as an argument to a command, you either need to escape them or quote the argument like this: pip install ‘requests[security]’ If you want to disable globbing for the pip command permanently, you can do … Read more
I know you’ve found another solution, but for those like me who find this question, looking for the same thing, it can be achieved with requests as follows: Firstly, as Marcus did, check the source of the login form to get three pieces of information – the url that the form posts to, and the … Read more
