Conversion of curl to Python Requests
curl, python, python-requests
Solution
Your server is expecting JSON, but you aren't sending it. Try this:
import requests
import json
payload = {'query': json.dumps({"tags":["test1", "test2"]})}
url = 'http://www.test.com/match'
r = requests.post(url, data=payload)
if __name__=='__main__':
print r.text
Problem
I'm trying to convert the following working request in curl to a python request (using Requests). ``` curl --data 'query={"tags":["test1","test2"]}' http://www.test.com/match ``` (I've used a fake url but the command does work with the real url) The receiving end (ran in Flask) does this: ``` @app.route("/match", methods=['POST']) def tagmatch(): query = json.loads(request.form['query']) tags = query.get('tags') # ... does stuff ... return json.dump(stuff) ``` In curl (7.30), ran on Mac OS X (10.9) the command above properly returns a JSON list that's filtered using the tag query. My Python script is as follows, it returns a 400 Bad Request error. ``` import requests payload = {"tags":["test1", "test2"]} # also tried payload = 'query={"tags":["test1","test2"]}' url = 'http://www.test.com/match' r = requests.post(url, data=payload) if __name__=='__main__': print(r.text) ```
