minreq 0.1.0

Check required data in a request.

Check required data in a request.

Usage

Some time ago Chrome Developers tools added Copy as Curl feature. This tool receives as input a curl command, parses it and checks what data is required to repeat the request successfully. It currently supports GET and POST requests.

The output depends on the action, which are currently print_results and print_scrapy_request. An example using the latest one is shown below:

$ python minreq-runner.py --action print_scrapy_request
curl 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=startup&only=scripts&skin=vector&*'
-H 'accept-encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch' -H 'accept-language: en-US,en;q=0.8,es;q=0.6'
-H 'user-agent: Mozilla/5.0' -H 'accept: */*' -H 'referer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Example'
-H 'cookie: GeoIP=:::::v6; WMF-Last-Access=23-Jun-2015' --compressed
