The requests module of Python is one of the most common libraries to be used as an HTTP client.

httpbin.org is a nice service that you can use to try various HTTP requests.

In this articel I have collected a couple of the examples written using Python requests.

HTTP GET

{% include file="examples/python/httpbin/get.py" %}

The output will look like this:

{% include file="examples/python/httpbin/get.out" %}

HTTP POST

{% include file="examples/python/httpbin/post.py" %}

The output will look like this:

{% include file="examples/python/httpbin/post.out" %}

Basic Authentication

{% include file="examples/python/httpbin/basic_auth.py" %}

What happens if you don't provide the credentials:

{% include file="examples/python/httpbin/basic_auth_no_credentials.py" %}

What happens if you provide the wrong credentials?

{% include file="examples/python/httpbin/basic_auth_wrong_credentials.py" %}
