Python: Send a request to a web page, and print the response text, content, raw data
Python Requests: Exercise-3 with Solution
Write a Python code to send a request to a web page, and print the response text and content. Also get the raw socket response from the server.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
import requests
res = requests.get('https://www.google.com/')
print("Response text of https://google.com/:")
print(res.text)
print("\n==============================================================================")
print("\nContent of the said url:")
print(res.content)
print("\n==============================================================================")
print("\nRaw data of the said url:")
r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/events', stream = True)
print(r.raw)
print(r.raw.read(15))
Sample Output:
Response text of https://example.com/: <!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>Example Domain</title> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" /> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: #f0f0f2; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; } div { width: 600px; margin: 5em auto; padding: 2em; background-color: #fdfdff; border-radius: 0.5em; box-shadow: 2px 3px 7px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.02); } a:link, a:visited { color: #38488f; text-decoration: none; } @media (max-width: 700px) { div { margin: 0 auto; width: auto; } } </style> </head> <body> <div> <h1>Example Domain</h1> <p>This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents.

Previous: Write a Python code to check the status code issued by a server in response to a client's request made to the server. Print all of the methods and attributes available to objects on successful request.
Next: Write a Python code to send a request to a web page, and print the information of headers. Also parse these values and print key-value pairs holding various information.

Python: Tips of the Day
Find current directory and file's directory:
To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:
import os dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)
To get the current working directory use
import os cwd = os.getcwd()
Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:
- The os and os.path modules.
- The __file__ constant
- os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
- os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
- os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
- os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
