Requests python get docs

The .get() method sends a GET request to a web server and it returns a response object.

Syntax

import requests requests.get("url", **kwargs) 

**kwargs are any number of dictionary items (named arguments) that are passed in as parameters. Many different named parameters can be passed into a GET request. For example, they can be used to include cookies in the request, set proxies, set user-agents, or set a page timeout.

Example

The .get() method sends a request for data to a web server. The response object it returns contains various types of data such as the webpage text, status code, and the reason for that response.

import requests
 
response = requests.get("https://codecademy.com") 
 
print(f"response.status_code>: response.reason>") 
 
response = requests.get("https://codecademy.com/cat-pictures") 
 
print(f"response.status_code>: response.reason>") 
 
This will produce the following output:
200: OK
404: Not Found
 
Codebyte Example
The .get() method can also take in various parameters. These parameters allow a user to communicate additional information to the web server such as the content type that should be returned, and the user’s authentication.
