I have an implementation as follows:
There is a payment form wherein user fills all the details.(API1), here I'm getting an error 302:
On submit of that form one of the function in my views is called.
In the backend implementation ie. in views.py, I want to send a POST request to one of the gateways I have integrated.(API2)
But the problem is coming as the request is going as GET and hence it is dropping all the form data I'm sending along with the request.
Following is the code.
views.py -->
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
}
payload = {
'CustomerID': 'abc',
'TxnAmount': '1.00',
'BankID': '1',
'AdditionalInfo1': '999999999',
'AdditionalInfo2': 'test#test.test',
}
payload_encoded = urlencode(payload, quote_via=quote_plus)
response = requests.post('https://www.billdesk.com/pgidsk/PGIMerchantRequestHandler?hidRequestId=****&hidOperation=****', data=payload_encoded, headers=headers)
content = response.url
return_config = {
"type": "content",
"content": redirect(content)
}
return return_config
How do I send the 2nd request(API2) as POST request along with all parameters? What am I doing wrong here?
Thank you for your suggestions.
If the requests returns a 302 status, the new url is available in response.headers['Location']. You can keep following the new url, till you end up with a valid response.
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
}
payload = {
'CustomerID': 'abc',
'TxnAmount': '1.00',
'BankID': '1',
'AdditionalInfo1': '999999999',
'AdditionalInfo2': 'test#test.test',
}
payload_encoded = urlencode(payload, quote_via=quote_plus)
response = requests.post('https://www.billdesk.com/pgidsk/PGIMerchantRequestHandler?hidRequestId=****&hidOperation=****', data=payload_encoded, headers=headers)
while response.status_code == 302:
response = requests.post(response.headers['Location'], data=payload_encoded, headers=headers)
content = response.text
return_config = {
"type": "content",
"content": content
}
return return_config
# here you are assigning the post url to content ie. 'https://www.billdesk.com/pgidsk/PGIMerchantRequestHandler?hidRequestId=****&hidOperation=****'
content = response.url
return_config = {
"type": "content",
"content": redirect(content) # calling redirect with the response.url
}
change to:
# check status code for response
print(response)
content = response.json() # if response is of json in format
content = response.text # if response is of plain text
return_config = {
"type": "content",
"content": content
}
return return_config
request.post() returns requests.Response object. inorder to get the response data you need to access it using .text or .json() depending on the format in which the response is sent.
Im having difficulty with the following code:

headers = {
'accept': "application/json",
'authorization': "Basic ZGxhZG1pbjp0aGlua2JpZw==",
'cache-control': "no-cache",
}
url = "http://localhost:8400/proxy/v1/schema-discovery/hive/sample-file"
req = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers)
print(req.text)
For some reason im getting the error "HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type".
I'm trying to send a csv, along with some json in a multipart form. I originally had this working with http.client but the way I was doing it it was adding extra line breaks and carriage return literals into the multipart message body.
Any help greatly appreciated!
The issue I couldnt originally see was with declaring the file type in the file tuple, shown below as 'text/csv' in the solution.
import http.client
file = { 'file' : ('csvtest.csv', open('csvtest.csv', 'rt'), 'text/csv') }
payload = { 'parser' : '{object trimmed for comment}' }
headers = { 'accept': "application/json", 'authorization': "Basic ZGxhZG1pbjp0aGlua2JpZw==", }
url = "http://localhost:8400/proxy/v1/schema-discovery/hive/sample-file"
req = requests.post(url, data=payload, files=file, headers=headers)
pprint(req.text)
