send send request with specific user agent code example
Example 1: python requests set user agent
import requests
url = 'SOME URL'
headers = {
'User-Agent': 'My User Agent 1.0',
'From': '[email protected]' # This is another valid field
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
Example 2: why mentioning user agent in request library
#If you are using python requests old version
import requests
url = 'SOME URL'
# Get a copy of the default headers that requests would use
headers = requests.utils.default_headers()
# Update the headers with your custom ones
# You don't have to worry about case-sensitivity with
# the dictionary keys, because default_headers uses a custom
# CaseInsensitiveDict implementation within requests' source code.
headers.update(
{
'User-Agent': 'My User Agent 1.0',
}
)
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
