I've been trying to make a request to an API, I have to pass the following body:
{
"description":"Tenaris",
"ticker":"TS.BA",
"industry":"Metalúrgica",
"currency":"ARS"
}
Altough the code seems to be right and it finished with "Process finished with exit code 0", it's not working well. I have no idea of what I'm missing but this is my code:
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
http.urlopen('POST', 'http://localhost:8080/assets', headers={'Content-Type':'application/json'},
data={
"description":"Tenaris",
"ticker":"TS.BA",
"industry":"Metalúrgica",
"currency":"ARS"
})
By the way, this the first day working with Python so excuse me if I'm not specific enough.
Since you're trying to pass in a JSON request, you'll need to encode the body as JSON and pass it in with the body
field.
For your example, you want to do something like:
import json
encoded_body = json.dumps({
"description": "Tenaris",
"ticker": "TS.BA",
"industry": "Metalúrgica",
"currency": "ARS",
})
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
r = http.request('POST', 'http://localhost:8080/assets',
headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
body=encoded_body)
print r.read() # Do something with the response?
Edit: My original answer was wrong. Updated it to encode the JSON. Also, related question: How do I pass raw POST data into urllib3?
I ran into this issue when making a call to Gitlab CI. Since the above did not work for me (gave me some kind of error about not being able to concatenate bytes to a string), and because the arguments I was attempting to pass were nested, I thought I would post what ended up working for me:
API_ENDPOINT = "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/{}/pipeline".format(GITLAB_PROJECT_ID)
API_TOKEN = "SomeToken"
data = {
"ref": ref,
"variables": [
{
"key": "ENVIRONMENT",
"value": some_env
},
{ "key": "S3BUCKET",
"value": some_bucket
},
]
}
req_headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'PRIVATE-TOKEN': API_TOKEN,
}
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
encoded_data = json.dumps(data).encode('utf-8')
r = http.request('POST', API_ENDPOINT,
headers=req_headers,
body=encoded_data)
resp_body = r.data.decode('utf-8')
resp_dict = json.loads(r.data.decode('utf-8'))
logger.info('Response Code: {}'.format(r.status))
logger.info('Response Body: {}'.format(resp_body))
if 'message' in resp_body:
logfile_msg = 'Failed Gitlab Response-- {} {message}'.format(r.status, **resp_dict)
