🛜 Access internet using Python
|
Welcome back to Pandas Daily! Your daily 5-minute boost to becoming confident in Python. Every time you open a website, your browser (let's say Chrome) does the work for you. It sends a request. The server replies with data. Basic internet workflow. With Python's requests library, same can be done - through code. So fetch data, send information (fill a form) or check if the website is live - only in a few lines. Let's see how! 📞 get to ask for data 200 means OK. Request worked and server returned the data.
In:
import requests r = requests.get("https://httpbin.org/get") print(r.status_code)
Out:
200
📩 See reply Its fine if you don't understand what the reply means for now
In:
r = requests.get("https://httpbin.org/get") print(r.text[:80]) 👤 See only specific data If you want to see data for Alex aged 25, pass the parameters to get custom url.
In:
params = {"name": "Alex", "age": 25} r = requests.get("https://httpbin.org/get", params=params) print(r.url)
Out:
https://httpbin.org/get?name=Alex&age=25
Open this url to see what you got ⏱️ Timeout to protect yourself - Quit if server does not reply
In:
try: r = requests.get("https://httpbin.org/delay/5", timeout=2) except requests.exceptions.Timeout: print("Request timed out") 📬 Send information ➜ post request
In:
payload = {"task": "Finish report", "done": False} r = requests.post("https://httpbin.org/post", data=payload) print(r.text) 🔑 Pass username and password
In:
r = requests.get("https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/alex/secret", auth=("alex", "secret")) print(r.status_code)
Out:
200

Welcome back to Pandas Daily! Your daily 5-minute boost to becoming confident in Python. Last week we introduced numpy. Created bunch of arrays, sliced them and did some math with them. To prepare data for machine learning or any analysis, we need to learn to control their shape. Today - Reshape flat lists into grids. Flatten 2D tables back to 1D arrays. Create arrays filled with zeros, ones, or random numbers. ⏪ Recap: See dimensions first In: import numpy as np sales = np.array([120, 340,...
