Execute curl command within a Python script

Question

I want to execute a curl command in python. curl -d @request.json --header "Content-Type: application/json" https://www.googleapis.com/qpxExpress/v1/trips/search?key=mykeyhere There is a request.json file to be sent to get response. I tried to write code, but it does not work. import pycurl import StringIO response = StringIO.StringIO() c = pycurl.Curl() c.setopt(c.URL, 'https://www.googleapis.com/qpxExpress/v1/trips/search?key=mykeyhere') c.setopt(c.WRITEFUNCTION, response.write) c.setopt(c.HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: application/json','Accept-Charset: UTF-8']) c.setopt(c.POSTFIELDS, '@request.json') c.perform() c.close() print response.getvalue() response.close() The error message is 'Parse Error'. Help me fix it.

Answer 1

Maybe you should consider using the Requests library. If you simply take an example with JSON response content, it would be something like: import requests r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json') r.json() For more information just visit the Quickstart section, they will provide you with lots of working examples. For your specific curl translation: import requests url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/qpxExpress/v1/trips/search?key=mykeyhere' payload = open("request.json") headers = {'content-type': 'application/json', 'Accept-Charset': 'UTF-8'} r = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers) You can use the following video tutorials to clear all your doubts:- If You want to learn python for data science visit this python course by Intellipaat.
