Python Request Post with param data
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
- status_code should just reconfirm the code you were given before, of course
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)
