Request with body

Request with headers

POST requests pass their data through the message body, The Payload will be set to the data parameter. data parameter takes a dictionary, a list of tuples, bytes, or a file-like object. You’ll want to adapt the data you send in the body of your request to the specified URL.

Syntax:

requests.post(url, data={key: value}, json={key: value}, headers={key:value}, args) *(data, json, headers parameters are optional.)

Given below are few implementations to help understand the concept better.

Example 1: Sending requests with data as a payload

Python3

import requests
 
url = "https://httpbin.org/post"
 
data = {
    "id": 1001,
    "name": "geek",
    "passion": "coding",
}
 
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
 
print("Status Code", response.status_code)
print("JSON Response ", response.json())

Output:

Example 2: Sending requests with JSON data and headers

Python

import requests
import json
 
url = "https://httpbin.org/post"
 
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8"}
 
data = {
    "id": 1001,
    "name": "geek",
    "passion": "coding",
}
 
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
 
print("Status Code", response.status_code)
print("JSON Response ", response.json())

Output:

Python requests – POST request with headers and body

HTTP headers let the client and the server pass additional information with an HTTP request or response. All the headers are case-insensitive, headers fields are separated by colon, key-value pairs in clear-text string format.
