Request vs Requests module in Python

Question

Can anyone tell me what the difference between the request and the popular requests module is in Python?

Answer 1

From the PYPI --> https://pypi.org/project/request/

From Github -- > https://github.com/looking-for-a-job/request.py

It seems like an uncompleted module. Just uninstall it with,

pip uninstall request

and then install the requests module with pip install requests.

Answer 2

request is the http request and you use it when you writing a code and you want to access the HTTP request data which hit your function, for example request.method or request .user

def GetUser(request):
 return request.user 

requests is library you need to install it, the liverary give your code the ability to act like browser kind of, where your code hit websites and get data from it

pip install requests
response = requests.get('https://api.github.com')
response.status_code

this will print out 200 OK
