Requests API Tutorial 📚

Welcome to the Requests API tutorial! This guide will walk you through using the popular Python library for making HTTP requests. 🐍

🌐 Sending GET Requests

Use GET to retrieve data from a server.

• Basic Syntax:

  import requests  
  response = requests.get('https://example.com')  
  

  📌 Tip: Add headers or parameters with params argument.

📤 Sending POST Requests

Use POST to send data to a server.

• Example with JSON:

  data = {'key': 'value'}  
  response = requests.post('https://api.example.com', json=data)  
  

  📌 Tip: Use files argument for uploading attachments.

📊 Handling Responses

Check response status and content:

• response.status_code → Get HTTP status
• response.json() → Parse JSON data
• response.text → Get raw response text

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Session Management

Reuse sessions for multiple requests:

session = requests.Session()  
session.get('https://example.com')  
session.post('https://example.com/data', json={'key': 'value'})  

📌 Pro Tip: Sessions automatically handle cookies!
