I'm trying to send a HTTP POST request with Python. I can get it to work with 3.0, but I couldn't find a good example on 2.7.
hdr = {"content-type": "application/json"}
payload= ("<html><body><h1>Sorry it's not Friday yet</h1> </body></html>")
r = requests.post("http://my-url/api/Html", json={"HTML": payload})
with open ('c:/temp/a.pdf', 'wb') as f:
b64str = json.loads(r.text)['BinaryData'] #base 64 string is in BinaryData attr
binStr = binascii.a2b_base64(b64str) #convert base64 string to binary
f.write(binStr)
The api takes a json in this format:
{
HTML : "a html string"
}
and returns a json in this format:
{
BinaryData: 'base64 encoded string'
}
811
In Python 2.x it should be like this
import json
import httplib
body =("<html><body><h1>Sorry it's not Friday yet</h1> </body></html>")
payload = {'HTML' : body}
hdr = {"content-type": "application/json"}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection('my-url')
conn.request('POST', '/api/Html', json.dumps(payload), hdr)
response = conn.getresponse()
data = response.read() # same as r.text in 3.x
