低级类

class requests.Request(method=None, url=None, headers=None, files=None, data=None, params=None, auth=None, cookies=None, hooks=None, json=None)[source]

A user-created Request object.

Used to prepare a PreparedRequest, which is sent to the server.

Parameters
  • method – HTTP method to use.

  • url – URL to send.

  • headers – dictionary of headers to send.

  • files – dictionary of {filename: fileobject} files to multipart upload.

  • data – the body to attach to the request. If a dictionary is provided, form-encoding will take place.

  • json – json for the body to attach to the request (if files or data is not specified).

  • params – dictionary of URL parameters to append to the URL.

  • auth – Auth handler or (user, pass) tuple.

  • cookies – dictionary or CookieJar of cookies to attach to this request.

  • hooks – dictionary of callback hooks, for internal usage.

Usage:

>>> import requests
>>> req = requests.Request('GET', 'http://httpbin.org/get')
>>> req.prepare()
<PreparedRequest [GET]>
deregister_hook(event, hook)

Deregister a previously registered hook. Returns True if the hook existed, False if not.

prepare()[source]

Constructs a PreparedRequest for transmission and returns it.

register_hook(event, hook)

Properly register a hook.

class requests.Response[source]

The Response object, which contains a server’s response to an HTTP request.

property apparent_encoding

The apparent encoding, provided by the chardet library.

close()[source]

Releases the connection back to the pool. Once this method has been called the underlying raw object must not be accessed again.

Note: Should not normally need to be called explicitly.

property content

Content of the response, in bytes.

cookies = None

A CookieJar of Cookies the server sent back.

elapsed = None

The amount of time elapsed between sending the request and the arrival of the response (as a timedelta). This property specifically measures the time taken between sending the first byte of the request and finishing parsing the headers. It is therefore unaffected by consuming the response content or the value of the stream keyword argument.

encoding = None

Encoding to decode with when accessing r.text.

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.

property is_permanent_redirect

True if this Response one of the permanent versions of redirect.

property is_redirect

True if this Response is a well-formed HTTP redirect that could have been processed automatically (by Session.resolve_redirects).

iter_content(chunk_size=1, decode_unicode=False)[source]

Iterates over the response data. When stream=True is set on the request, 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.

chunk_size must be of type int or None. A value of None will function differently depending on the value of stream. stream=True will read data as it arrives in whatever size the chunks are received. If stream=False, data is returned as a single chunk.

If decode_unicode is True, content will be decoded using the best available encoding based on the response.

iter_lines(chunk_size=512, decode_unicode=None, delimiter=None)[source]

Iterates over the response data, one line at a time. When stream=True is set on the request, this avoids reading the content at once into memory for large responses.

Note

This method is not reentrant safe.

json(**kwargs)[source]

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

Parameters

**kwargs – Optional arguments that json.loads takes.

Raises

ValueError – If the response body does not contain valid json.

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

property next

Returns a PreparedRequest for the next request in a redirect chain, if there is one.

property ok

Returns True if status_code is less than 400.

This attribute checks if the status code of the response is between 400 and 600 to see if there was a client error or a server error. If the status code, is between 200 and 400, this will return True. This is not a check to see if the response code is 200 OK.

raise_for_status()[source]

Raises stored HTTPError, if one occurred.

reason = None

Textual reason of responded HTTP Status, e.g. “Not Found” or “OK”.

request = None

The PreparedRequest object to which this is a response.

status_code = None

Integer Code of responded HTTP Status, e.g. 404 or 200.

property text

Content of the response, in unicode.

If Response.encoding is None, encoding will be guessed using chardet.

The encoding of the response content is determined based solely on HTTP headers, following RFC 2616 to the letter. If you can take advantage of non-HTTP knowledge to make a better guess at the encoding, you should set r.encoding appropriately before accessing this property.

url = None

Final URL location of Response.

更低级的类

class requests.PreparedRequest[source]

The fully mutable PreparedRequest object, containing the exact bytes that will be sent to the server.

Generated from either a Request object or manually.

Usage:

>>> import requests
>>> req = requests.Request('GET', 'http://httpbin.org/get')
>>> r = req.prepare()
<PreparedRequest [GET]>

>>> s = requests.Session()
>>> s.send(r)
<Response [200]>
body = None

request body to send to the server.

deregister_hook(event, hook)

headers = None

dictionary of HTTP headers.

hooks = None

dictionary of callback hooks, for internal usage.

method = None

HTTP verb to send to the server.

prepare(method=None, url=None, headers=None, files=None, data=None, params=None, auth=None, cookies=None, hooks=None, json=None)[source]

Prepares the entire request with the given parameters.

prepare_auth(auth, url='')[source]

Prepares the given HTTP auth data.

prepare_body(data, files, json=None)[source]

Prepares the given HTTP body data.

prepare_content_length(body)[source]

Prepare Content-Length header based on request method and body

prepare_cookies(cookies)[source]

Prepares the given HTTP cookie data.

This function eventually generates a Cookie header from the given cookies using cookielib. Due to cookielib’s design, the header will not be regenerated if it already exists, meaning this function can only be called once for the life of the PreparedRequest object. Any subsequent calls to prepare_cookies will have no actual effect, unless the “Cookie” header is removed beforehand.

prepare_headers(headers)[source]

Prepares the given HTTP headers.

prepare_hooks(hooks)[source]

Prepares the given hooks.

prepare_method(method)[source]

Prepares the given HTTP method.

prepare_url(url, params)[source]

HTTP URL to send the request to.

class requests.adapters.BaseAdapter[source]

The Base Transport Adapter

close()[source]

Cleans up adapter specific items.

send(request, stream=False, timeout=None, verify=True, cert=None, proxies=None)[source]

Sends PreparedRequest object. Returns Response object.

Parameters
  • request – The PreparedRequest being sent.

  • stream – (optional) Whether to stream the request content.

  • timeout (float or tuple) – (optional) How long to wait for the server to send data before giving up, as a float, or a (connect timeout, read timeout) tuple.

  • verify – (optional) Either a boolean, in which case it controls whether we verify the server’s TLS certificate, or a string, in which case it must be a path to a CA bundle to use

  • cert – (optional) Any user-provided SSL certificate to be trusted.

  • proxies – (optional) The proxies dictionary to apply to the request.

class requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter(pool_connections=10, pool_maxsize=10, max_retries=0, pool_block=False)[source]

The built-in HTTP Adapter for urllib3.

Provides a general-case interface for Requests sessions to contact HTTP and HTTPS urls by implementing the Transport Adapter interface. This class will usually be created by the Session class under the covers.

Parameters
  • pool_connections – The number of urllib3 connection pools to cache.

  • pool_maxsize – The maximum number of connections to save in the pool.

  • max_retries – The maximum number of retries each connection should attempt. Note, this applies only to failed DNS lookups, socket connections and connection timeouts, never to requests where data has made it to the server. By default, Requests does not retry failed connections. If you need granular control over the conditions under which we retry a request, import urllib3’s Retry class and pass that instead.

  • pool_block – Whether the connection pool should block for connections.

Usage:

>>> import requests
>>> s = requests.Session()
>>> a = requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter(max_retries=3)
>>> s.mount('http://', a)
add_headers(request, **kwargs)[source]

Add any headers needed by the connection. As of v2.0 this does nothing by default, but is left for overriding by users that subclass the HTTPAdapter.

This should not be called from user code, and is only exposed for use when subclassing the HTTPAdapter.

Parameters
  • request – The PreparedRequest to add headers to.

  • kwargs – The keyword arguments from the call to send().

build_response(req, resp)[source]

Builds a Response object from a urllib3 response. This should not be called from user code, and is only exposed for use when subclassing the HTTPAdapter

Parameters
  • req – The PreparedRequest used to generate the response.

  • resp – The urllib3 response object.

Return type

requests.Response

cert_verify(conn, url, verify, cert)[source]

Verify a SSL certificate. This method should not be called from user code, and is only exposed for use when subclassing the HTTPAdapter.

Parameters
  • conn – The urllib3 connection object associated with the cert.

  • url – The requested URL.

  • verify – Either a boolean, in which case it controls whether we verify the server’s TLS certificate, or a string, in which case it must be a path to a CA bundle to use

  • cert – The SSL certificate to verify.

close()[source]

Disposes of any internal state.

Currently, this closes the PoolManager and any active ProxyManager, which closes any pooled connections.

get_connection(url, proxies=None)[source]

Returns a urllib3 connection for the given URL. This should not be called from user code, and is only exposed for use when subclassing the HTTPAdapter.

Parameters
  • url – The URL to connect to.

  • maxsize – The maximum number of connections to save in the pool.

  • block – Block when no free connections are available.

  • pool_kwargs – Extra keyword arguments used to initialize the Pool Manager.

proxy_headers(proxy)[source]

Returns a dictionary of the headers to add to any request sent through a proxy. This works with urllib3 magic to ensure that they are correctly sent to the proxy, rather than in a tunnelled request if CONNECT is being used.

This should not be called from user code, and is only exposed for use when subclassing the HTTPAdapter.

Parameters

proxies – The url of the proxy being used for this request.

Return type

dict

proxy_manager_for(proxy, **proxy_kwargs)[source]

Returns

ProxyManager

Return type

urllib3.ProxyManager

request_url(request, proxies)[source]

Obtain the url to use when making the final request.

If the message is being sent through a HTTP proxy, the full URL has to be used. Otherwise, we should only use the path portion of the URL.

This should not be called from user code, and is only exposed for use when subclassing the HTTPAdapter.

Parameters

Iterates over the response data, one line at a time. When stream=True is set on the request, this avoids reading the content at once into memory for large responses.

Note

This method is not reentrant safe.

json(**kwargs)[source]

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

Parameters

**kwargs – Optional arguments that json.loads takes.

Raises

ValueError – If the response body does not contain valid json.

property links

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

property next

Returns a PreparedRequest for the next request in a redirect chain, if there is one.

property ok

Returns True if status_code is less than 400.

This attribute checks if the status code of the response is between 400 and 600 to see if there was a client error or a server error. If the status code, is between 200 and 400, this will return True. This is not a check to see if the response code is 200 OK.

raise_for_status()[source]

Raises stored HTTPError, if one occurred.

reason = None

Textual reason of responded HTTP Status, e.g. “Not Found” or “OK”.

request = None

The PreparedRequest object to which this is a response.

status_code = None

Integer Code of responded HTTP Status, e.g. 404 or 200.

property text

Content of the response, in unicode.

If Response.encoding is None, encoding will be guessed using chardet.

The encoding of the response content is determined based solely on HTTP headers, following RFC 2616 to the letter. If you can take advantage of non-HTTP knowledge to make a better guess at the encoding, you should set r.encoding appropriately before accessing this property.

url = None

Final URL location of Response.

迁移到 1.x

本节详细介绍 0.x 和 1.x 的主要区别,减少升级带来的一些不便。

API 变化

  • Response.json 现在是可调用的并且不再是响应体的属性。

    import requests
    r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json')
    r.json()   # 如果 JSON 解码失败,该调用会引发异常。
    
  • Session API 也发生了变化. Sessions 对象不再需要参数了。 Session 现在是大写的了,但为了向后兼容,它仍然能被小写的 session 实例化。

    s = requests.Session()    # 过去会话需要接收参数
    s.auth = auth
    s.headers.update(headers)
    r = s.get('http://httpbin.org/headers')
    
  • 除了’response’,所有的请求挂钩已被移除。

  • 认证助手已经被分解成单独的模块了. 参见 requests-oauthlib and requests-kerberos.

  • 流请求的参数已从 prefetch 改变到 stream ,并且逻辑也被颠倒。除此之外, stream 现在对于原始响应读取也是必需的。

    # 在 0.x 中,传入 prefetch=False 会达到同样的结果
    r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json', stream=True)
    for chunk in r.iter_content(8192):
        ...
    
  • requests 方法的 config 参数已全部删除。 现在配置这些选项都在 Session ,比如 keep-alive 和最大数目的重定向。 详细程度选项应当由配置日志来处理。

    import requests
    import logging
    
    # 启用调试于 http.client 级别 (requests->urllib3->http.client)
    # 你将能看到 REQUEST,包括 HEADERS 和 DATA,以及包含 HEADERS 但不包含 DATA 的 RESPONSE。
    # 唯一缺少的是 response.body,它不会被 log 记录。
    try: # for Python 3
        from http.client import HTTPConnection
    except ImportError:
        from httplib import HTTPConnection
    HTTPConnection.debuglevel = 1
    
    logging.basicConfig() # 初始化 logging,否则不会看到任何 requests 的输出。
    logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    requests_log = logging.getLogger("requests.packages.urllib3")
    requests_log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    requests_log.propagate = True
    
    requests.get('http://httpbin.org/headers')
    

许可

有一个关键的与 API 无关的区别是开放许可从 ISC 许可 变更到 Apache 2.0 许可. Apache 2.0 license 确保了对于 Requests 的贡献也被涵盖在 Apache 2.0 许可内.

迁移到 2.x

和 1.0 发布版相比,破坏向后兼容的更改比较少。不过在这个主发布版本中,依然还有一些应该注意的问题。

更多关于变更的细节,包括 API,以及相关的 GitHub Issue 和部分 bug 修复,请参阅 Cory blog 中的相关主题。

API 变化

  • Requests 处理异常的行为有部分更改。 RequestException 现在是 IOError 的子类,而非 RuntimeError 的子类,新的归类更为合理。此外,无效的 URL 转义序列现在会引发 RequestException 的一个子类,而非一个 ValueError

    requests.get('http://%zz/')   # raises requests.exceptions.InvalidURL
    

    最后, 错误分块导致的 httplib.IncompleteRead 异常现在变成了 ChunkedEncodingError

  • 代理 API 略有改动,现在需要提供代理 URL 的 scheme。

    proxies = {
      "http": "10.10.1.10:3128",    # 需使用 http://10.10.1.10:3128
    }
    
    # requests 1.x 中有效, requests 2.x 中会引发 requests.exceptions.MissingSchema
    
    requests.get("http://example.org", proxies=proxies)
    

行为变化

  • headers 字典中的 key 现在都是原生字符串,在所有版本的 Python 中都是如此。也就是说,Python 2 中是 bytestring,Python 3 中是 unicode。 如果 key 不是原声字符串(Python 2 中 unicode,或 Python 3 中 bytestring) 它们会被以 UTF-8 编码转成原生字符串。

  • headers 字典中的 value 应该都是字符串。在 1.0 版之前该项目就是要求这样做的,只不过最近(v2.11.0之后)这条变成了强制条款。建议在可能的情况下,避免让 header 值使用 unicode 编码。
