Python: Passing parameters in the URLs query string

Python Requests: Exercise-7 with Solution

Write a Python code to send some sort of data in the URL's query string.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import requests
payload = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
print("Parameters: ",payload)
r = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/get', params=payload)
print("Print the url to check the URL has been correctly encoded or not!")
print(r.url)
print("\nPass a list of items as a value:")
payload = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': ['value2', 'value3']}
print("Parameters: ",payload)
r = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/get', params=payload)
print("Print the url to check the URL has been correctly encoded or not!")
print(r.url)

Sample Output:

Parameters:  {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
Print the url to check the URL has been correctly encoded or not!
https://httpbin.org/get?key1=value1&key2=value2

Pass a list of items as a value:
Parameters:  {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': ['value2', 'value3']}
Print the url to check the URL has been correctly encoded or not!
https://httpbin.org/get?key1=value1&key2=value2&key2=value3

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")
