Earlier I used httplib
module to add a header in the request. Now I am trying the same thing with the requests
module.
This is the python request module I am using: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests
How can I add a header to request.post()
and request.get()
. Say I have to add foobar
key in each request in the header.
From http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/quickstart/
url = 'https://api.github.com/some/endpoint'
payload = {'some': 'data'}
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
You just need to create a dict with your headers (key: value pairs where the key is the name of the header and the value is, well, the value of the pair) and pass that dict to the headers parameter on the .get
or .post
method.
So more specific to your question:
headers = {'foobar': 'raboof'}
requests.get('http://himom.com', headers=headers)
