API

Cette partie de la documentation présente toutes les interfaces possibles de Requests. Pour certaines parties, Requests dépend de librairies externes, nous documentons les plus importantes ici et fournissons des liens vers les documentations externes.

Interface Principale

Toutes les fonctionnalités de Requests sont accessibles via ces 7 méthodes. Elles retournent toutes une instance de l’objet Response.

requests.request(method, url, **kwargs)

---

class requests.Response

The core Response object. All Request objects contain a response attribute, which is an instance of this class.

config = None

Dictionary of configurations for this request.

content

Content of the response, in bytes.

cookies = None

A CookieJar of Cookies the server sent back.

encoding = None

Encoding to decode with when accessing r.text.

error = None

Resulting HTTPError of request, if one occurred.

headers = None

Case-insensitive Dictionary of Response Headers. For example, headers['content-encoding'] will return the value of a 'Content-Encoding' response header.

history = None

A list of Response objects from the history of the Request. Any redirect responses will end up here. The list is sorted from the oldest to the most recent request.

iter_content(chunk_size=1, decode_unicode=False)

Iterates over the response data. This avoids reading the content at once into memory for large responses. The chunk size is the number of bytes it should read into memory. This is not necessarily the length of each item returned as decoding can take place.

iter_lines(chunk_size=10240, decode_unicode=None)

Iterates over the response data, one line at a time. This avoids reading the content at once into memory for large responses.

json

Returns the json-encoded content of a response, if any.

links

Returns the parsed header links of the response, if any.

raise_for_status(allow_redirects=True)

Raises stored HTTPError or URLError, if one occurred.

raw = None

File-like object representation of response (for advanced usage).

reason

The HTTP Reason for the response.

request = None

The Request that created the Response.

status_code = None

Integer Code of responded HTTP Status.

text

Content of the response, in unicode.

if Response.encoding is None and chardet module is available, encoding will be guessed.

url = None

Final URL location of Response.

---

Configurations

requests.defaults

This module provides the Requests configuration defaults.

Configurations:

base_headers:Default HTTP headers. verbose:Stream to write request logging to. max_redirects:Maximum number of redirects allowed within a request.s keep_alive:Reuse HTTP Connections? max_retries:The number of times a request should be retried in the event of a connection failure. danger_mode:If true, Requests will raise errors immediately. safe_mode:If true, Requests will catch all errors. strict_mode:If true, Requests will do its best to follow RFCs (e.g. POST redirects). pool_maxsize:The maximium size of an HTTP connection pool. pool_connections:  The number of active HTTP connection pools to use. encode_uri:If true, URIs will automatically be percent-encoded. trust_env:If true, the surrouding environment will be trusted (environ, netrc). param store_cookies:  If false, the received cookies as part of the HTTP response would be ignored.
