How to construct URL from an initial URL python

Question

I'm trying to construct a URL based on what I get from a initial URL.

Example:

URL1:

http://some-url/rest/ids?configuration_path=project/Main/10-deploy

Response here is 123

URL2:

http://abc-bld/download/{RESPONSE_FROM_URL1_HERE}.latest_successful/artifacts/build-info.props

so my final URL will be:

http://tke-bld/download/123.latest_successful/artifacts/build-info.props

Response here is Some.Text.here.123

Then I'd like to grab 'Some.Text.here.123' and store it in a variable.

How can I accomplish this with python?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Assuming that you are doing simple HTTP GET requests, you can use the requests library

Something like

import requests
initial_request = requests.get('http://request1.com/something')
value = request1.text

second_request = requests.get('http://request2.com/value={0}'.format(value))
response = second_request.text

You can do it via requests and some string formatting, something along these lines:

import requests

initial_url = "http://some-url/rest/ids"
initial_url_params = {
    "configuration_path": "project/Main/10-deploy"
}
with requests.Session() as session:
     response = session.get(initial_url, params=initial_url_params)

     second_url = "http://abc-bld/download/{0}.latest_successful/artifacts/build-info.props".format(response.content)

     response = session.get(second_url)
     print(response.content)
