* 'Cookies' and 'Encodings' sections were not built because the
reference to the functions was wrong.
* 'Exceptions' section had a wrong anchor link ('module-requests', same
one as the main heading).
* Remove 'decode_gzip' function, which is no longer present.

Developer Interface
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: requests
|
|
|
|
This part of the documentation covers all the interfaces of Requests. For
|
|
parts where Requests depends on external libraries, we document the most
|
|
important right here and provide links to the canonical documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Main Interface
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
All of Requests' functionality can be accessed by these 7 methods.
|
|
They all return an instance of the :class:`Response <Response>` object.
|
|
|
|
.. autofunction:: request
|
|
|
|
.. autofunction:: head
|
|
.. autofunction:: get
|
|
.. autofunction:: post
|
|
.. autofunction:: put
|
|
.. autofunction:: patch
|
|
.. autofunction:: delete

Migrating to 1.x
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
This section details the main differences between 0.x and 1.x and is meant
|
|
to ease the pain of upgrading.
|
|
|
|
|
|
API Changes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* ``Response.json`` is now a callable and not a property of a response.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
import requests
|
|
r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json')
|
|
r.json() # This *call* raises an exception if JSON decoding fails
|
|
|
|
* The ``Session`` API has changed. Sessions objects no longer take parameters.
|
|
``Session`` is also now capitalized, but it can still be
|
|
instantiated with a lowercase ``session`` for backwards compatibility.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
s = requests.Session() # formerly, session took parameters
|
|
s.auth = auth
|
|
s.headers.update(headers)
|
|
r = s.get('http://httpbin.org/headers')
|
|
|
|
* All request hooks have been removed except 'response'.
|
|
|
|
* Authentication helpers have been broken out into separate modules. See
|
|
requests-oauthlib_ and requests-kerberos_.
|
|
|
|
.. _requests-oauthlib: https://github.com/requests/requests-oauthlib
|
|
.. _requests-kerberos: https://github.com/requests/requests-kerberos
|
|
|
|
* The parameter for streaming requests was changed from ``prefetch`` to
|
|
``stream`` and the logic was inverted. In addition, ``stream`` is now
|
|
required for raw response reading.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# in 0.x, passing prefetch=False would accomplish the same thing
|
|
r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json', stream=True)
|
|
r.raw.read(10)
|
|
|
|
* The ``config`` parameter to the requests method has been removed. Some of
|
|
these options are now configured on a ``Session`` such as keep-alive and
|
|
maximum number of redirects. The verbosity option should be handled by
|
|
configuring logging.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
import requests
|
|
import logging
|
|
|
|
# these two lines enable debugging at httplib level (requests->urllib3->httplib)
|
|
# you will see the REQUEST, including HEADERS and DATA, and RESPONSE with HEADERS but without DATA.
|
|
# the only thing missing will be the response.body which is not logged.
|
|
import httplib
|
|
httplib.HTTPConnection.debuglevel = 1
|
|
|
|
logging.basicConfig() # you need to initialize logging, otherwise you will not see anything from requests
|
|
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
|
|
requests_log = logging.getLogger("requests.packages.urllib3")
|
|
requests_log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
|
|
requests_log.propagate = True
|
|
|
|
requests.get('http://httpbin.org/headers')
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Licensing
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
One key difference that has nothing to do with the API is a change in the
|
|
license from the ISC_ license to the `Apache 2.0`_ license. The Apache 2.0
|
|
license ensures that contributions to requests are also covered by the Apache
|
|
2.0 license.
