The URL that I need to GET from looks something like this:
https://example.com//report.php?file=MyFile¶ms=query=QueryMyFile^SomeParam=x^SomeOtherParam=y^AnotherOne=z
I want to use requests to pass the params; something along the lines of:
base_url = 'https://example.com//report.php'
params =
{ 'SomeParam': x,
'SomeOtherParam': y,
'AnotherOne': z
}
my_file = requests.get(base_url, params=params)
How can I achieve this?
They're accepting them all in one query called "params".
That's a non-standard way to send params, so, there's no built-in way to do that with requests. You'll have to join the keys and values with '^' character manually.
urllib?
urllib.parse.urlencode() will help here, since you can't specify a different separator.
report.php.
From the requests docs..
payload = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
r = requests.get('http://httpbin.org/get', params=payload)
The structure of your params data is in json style, i would also try to do it this way instead:
import json
import requests
params = { 'SomeParam': x,
'SomeOtherParam': y,
'AnotherOne': z }
params = json.dumps(params, separators=('^', '='))
params = params[1:-1] #remove first and last curly brackets
my_file = requests.get(base_url+params)
Something like that would do.
