I was using Postman to send post request like on the screenshot
Now I need to implement it in python. This is what i've got for now:
import requests
data = {"sendRequest": {"apiKey": 12345, "field1": "field1value"}}
files = {"attachment": ("file.txt", open("file.txt", "rb"))}
headers = {"Content-type": "multipart/form-data"}
response = requests.post(endpoint, data=data, headers=headers, files=files)
But still it's not working - server doesn't accept it as valid request. I've tried more combinations but without any results and I really couldn't find a solution.
I need this request to be exactly like that one in postman
I finally found a solution. I used MultipartEncoder from requests_toolbelt library.
from requests_toolbelt import MultipartEncoder
import requests
import json
data = {"apiKey": 12345, "field1": "field1value"}}
mp = MultipartEncoder(
fields={
'sendRequest': json.dumps(data), # it is important to convert dict into json
'attachment': ('file.pdf', open('file.pdf', 'rb'), 'multipart/form-data'),
}
)
r = requests.post(ENDPOINT, data=mp, headers={'Content-Type': mp.content_type})

I wish to make a post request to add an attachment utilising urllib3 in python without success. I have confirmed the API itself is working in postman but cannot work out how to convert this request to python. Appreciating I'm mixing object types I just don't know how to avoid it.
Python code:
import urllib3
import json
api_key = "secret_key"
header = {"X-API-KEY": api_key, "ACCEPT": "application/json", "content-type": "multipart/form-data"}
url = "https://secret_url.com/api/"
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
with open("invoice.html", 'rb') as f:
file_data = f.read()
payload = {
"attchment": {
"file": file_data
}
}
payload = json.dumps(payload)
r = http.request('post', url, headers = header, fields = payload)
print(r.status)
print(r.data)
Postman - which works and properly sends file-name through also (I'm guessing it splits the bytes and filename up?)
Edit: I've also tried the requests library as I'm more familiar with this (but can't use it as the script will be running in AWS lambda). Removing the attachment element form the dict allows it to run but the API endpoint gives 401 presumably because it's missing the "attachement" part to the data structure as per postman below... but when I put this in I get runtime errors.
r = requests.post(url, headers = header, files={"file": open("invoice.html", 'rb')})
For anyone who stumbles upon this from Dr google a few points:
I was completely mis-interpreting the structure of the element. It's actually a string "attachment[file]" not a dict like object.
Postman has the ability to output python code in urllib/request syntax albeit not 100% what I was after. Note: the chrome version (depreciated) outputs gibberish code that only half works so the client version should be used. A short bit of work below shows it working as expected:
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
with open("invoice.html", "rb") as f:
file = f.read()
payload={
'attachment[file]':('invoice.html',file,'text/html')
}
r = http.request('post', url, headers = header, fields = payload)
I am unable to access an API.
This is what I am doing:
import os, re
import requests
import logger
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1
oauth_consumer_key = "123abc"
oauth_secret = "aaabbbccc"
url = "https://example_testing/v1/<ID_VALUE>/reports?"
oauth = OAuth1(oauth_consumer_key, oauth_secret)
output = requests.get(url,auth=oauth)
I keep getting a 500 error.
What am I doing wrong?
I didn't know this but apparently I needed to set values for headers and the payload. This solved my problem.
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
payload = json.dumps({
"report_format":"csv",
<other stuff>
}
output = requests.get(url=url, auth=oauth, headers=headers, data=payload)
Problem Solved
Im trying To Make post requests (multipart/form-data) in this website https://gofile.io/?t=api
every time time i got an error when i try to upload file
my code
import requests
req = requests.session()
files= {'file': open("test.txt", 'rb')}
response = req.post('https://srv-file7.gofile.io/upload', files=files)
print(response.text)
I got error every time ,are smething missing in the code
from requests_toolbelt.multipart.encoder import MultipartEncoder
import requests
import json
mp_encoder = MultipartEncoder(
fields={
'filesUploaded': ('file_name.txt', open('file_name.txt', 'rb'))
}
)
r = requests.post(
'https://srv-file9.gofile.io/upload',
data=mp_encoder,
headers={'Content-Type': mp_encoder.content_type}
)
scrap = r.json()
# send "Token file" 123Abc
Token = scrap['data']['code']
Check this. It will work.
Trying to get data from the eBay API using GetItem. But requests isn't reading or getting the URL properly, any ideas? Getting this error:
requests.exceptions.MissingSchema: Invalid URL '<urllib.request.Request object at 0x00E86210>': No schema supplied. Perhaps you meant http://<urllib.request.Request object at 0x00E86210>?
I swear I had this code working before but now it's not, so I'm not sure why.
My code:
from urllib import request as urllib
import requests
url = 'https://api.ebay.com/ws/api.dll'
data = '''<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GetItemRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<RequesterCredentials>
<eBayAuthToken>my-auth-token</eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
<ItemID>any-item-id</ItemID>
</GetItemRequest>'''
headers = {
'Content-Type' : 'text/xml',
'X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL' : 719,
'X-EBAY-API-DEV-NAME' : 'dev-name',
'X-EBAY-API-APP-NAME' : 'app-name',
'X-EBAY-API-CERT-NAME' : 'cert-name',
'X-EBAY-API-SITEID' : 3,
'X-EBAY-API-CALL-NAME' : 'GetItem',
}
req = urllib.Request(url, data, headers)
resp = requests.get(req)
content = resp.read()
print(content)
Thank you in advance. Any good reading material for urllib would be great, too.
You are mixing the urllib and the requests library. They are different libraries that can both do HTTP-requests in Python. I'd suggest you use only the requests library.
Remove the line req = urllib.Request(url, data, headers) and replace the resp = ... line with:
r = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)
Print the response body like this:
print(r.text)
Check out the Requests Quickstart here for more examples: https://2.python-requests.org//en/master/user/quickstart/
I'm using python3. For debugging purposes, I'd like to get the exact text that is sent to the remote server via a requests.post command. The requests.post object seems to contain the response text, but I'm looking for the request text.
For example ...
import requests
import json
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}
payload = json.dumps({'abc':'def','ghi':'jkl'})
url = 'http://example.com/site.php'
r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload)
How do I get the text of the exact request that is sent to url via this POST command?
