Let's get GitHub's public timeline ::
r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json')
r = requests.get("http://httpbin.org/get")
Now, we have a :class:`Response` object called ``r``. We can get all the
information we need from this.
Response Content
----------------
We can read the content of the server's response::
>>> r.content
'[{"repository":{"open_issues":0,"url":"https://github.com/...
'{\n "url": "http://httpbin.org/get", \n "headers": ...
Make a POST Request
------------------
POST requests are equally simple ::
>>> r = requests.post("http://httpbin.org/post")
Suppose you want to send data over HTTP. Simply pass a data
argument to the requests.post method with your dictionary ::
>>> dataDict = {"key1":"value1", "key2":"value2"}
>>> r = requests.post("http://httpbin.org/post", data=dataDict)
>>> r.content
'{\n "origin": "::ffff:YourIpAddress", \n "files": {}, \n "form": {\n "key2": "value2", \n "key1": "value1"\n },
Note the data= argument is equivalent to -d in cURL scripts. dataDict will
be form-encoded.
