I have an API which send request to system, we are sending body request as form-data option.
How can achieve this in Pyhton script using Requests. This worked in Postman and I am trying to call this API with python script.
For form-encoded data, you'll want the data kwarg paired with a dictionary, not a string. To demonstrate how this works, I'll use the requests.Request object:
from requests import Request
import json
request_dict = {'Data': {'Number': "17329937082", "Format": "MSW"}}
data = {
'Document': open('sample.doc', 'rb'), # open in bytes-mode
'Request': json.dumps(request_dict) # formats the dict to json text
}
r = Request('GET', 'https://my-url.com', data=data)
req = r.prepare()
r.headers
{'Content-Length': '80595', 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
So in a normal request, that will look like:
import requests
import json
request_dict = {'Data': {'Number': "17329937082", "Format": "MSW"}}
data = {
'Document': open('sample.doc', 'rb'), # open in bytes-mode
'Request': json.dumps(request_dict) # formats the dict to json text
}
r = requests.get('my_url.com', data=data)
