Request with headers
Requests do not change its behavior at all based on which headers are specified. The headers are simply passed on into the final request. All header values must be a string, bytestring, or Unicode. While permitted, it’s advised to avoid passing Unicode header values. We can make requests with the headers we specify and by using the headers attribute we can tell the server with additional information about the request.
Headers can be Python Dictionaries like, { “Name of Header”: “Value of the Header” }
The Authentication Header tells the server who you are. Typically, we can send the authentication credentials through the Authorization header to make an authenticated request.
Example:
Headers = { “Authorization” : ”our_unique_secret_token” }
response = request.post(“https://example.com/get-my-account-detail”, headers=Headers)
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.
