The post() method sends a POST request to the specified url. The post() method is used when you want to send some data to the server.
In case of post request your data from the fields are added to the body instead. Length of request params is calculated, and added to the header for content-length and no important data is directly appended to the URL.
To send data using the HTTP POST method, you must include the data in the body of the HTTP POST message and specify the MIME type of the data with a Content-Type header. Below is an example of an HTTP POST request to send JSON data to the server. The size and data type for HTTP POST requests is not limited.
To send the Content-Type header using Curl, you need to use the -H command-line option. For example, you can use the -H "Content-Type: application/json" command-line parameter for JSON data. Data is passed to Curl using the -d command-line option. It must match the provided content type.
params is for GET-style URL parameters, data is for POST-style body information. It is perfectly legal to provide both types of information in a request, and your request does so too, but you encoded the URL parameters into the URL already.
Your raw post contains JSON data though. requests can handle JSON encoding for you, and it'll set the correct Content-Type header too; all you need to do is pass in the Python object to be encoded as JSON into the json keyword argument.
You could split out the URL parameters as well:
params = {'sessionKey': '9ebbd0b25760557393a43064a92bae539d962103', 'format': 'xml', 'platformId': 1}
then post your data with:
import requests
url = 'http://192.168.3.45:8080/api/v2/event/log'
data = {"eventType": "AAS_PORTAL_START", "data": {"uid": "hfe3hf45huf33545", "aid": "1", "vid": "1"}}
params = {'sessionKey': '9ebbd0b25760557393a43064a92bae539d962103', 'format': 'xml', 'platformId': 1}
requests.post(url, params=params, json=data)
The json keyword is new in requests version 2.4.2; if you still have to use an older version, encode the JSON manually using the json module and post the encoded result as the data key; you will have to explicitly set the Content-Type header in that case:
import requests
import json
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
url = 'http://192.168.3.45:8080/api/v2/event/log'
data = {"eventType": "AAS_PORTAL_START", "data": {"uid": "hfe3hf45huf33545", "aid": "1", "vid": "1"}}
params = {'sessionKey': '9ebbd0b25760557393a43064a92bae539d962103', 'format': 'xml', 'platformId': 1}
requests.post(url, params=params, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
Set data to this:
data ={"eventType":"AAS_PORTAL_START","data":{"uid":"hfe3hf45huf33545","aid":"1","vid":"1"}}
Assign the response to a value and test the attributes of it. These should tell you something useful.
response = requests.post(url,params=data,headers=headers)
response.status_code
response.text
