Python Requests HTTP

import requests

# Simple GET request
response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/data')

# With query parameters
params = {'key': 'value', 'page': 1}
response = requests.get(url, params=params)

# Check status
response.status_code  # 200 means success
response.ok  # True if status < 400
response.json()  # parse JSON response

# POST with JSON data
data = {'username': 'user', 'password': 'pass'}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)  # automatically sets Content-Type

# POST with form data
response = requests.post(url, data=data)

# With headers (e.g., authentication)
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer token123'}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

# Get response content
response.text  # as string
response.json()  # as JSON (dict/list)
response.content  # as bytes
response.headers  # response headers (dict)

# Error handling
try:
    response.raise_for_status()  # raises exception for 4xx/5xx
