>>> r.headers['content-type']

'application/json; charset=utf8'

'{"authenticated": true, ...'

>>> r.json()

{'authenticated': True, ...}

Requests allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. There’s no need to manually add query strings to your URLs, or to form-encode your PUT & POST data — but nowadays, just use the json method!

Requests is one of the most downloaded Python packages today, pulling in around 30M downloads / week— according to GitHub, Requests is currently depended upon by 1,000,000+ repositories. You may certainly put your trust in this code.

Cloning the repository

When cloning the Requests repository, you may need to add the `-c

fetch.fsck.badTimezone=ignore` flag to avoid an error about a bad commit (see

this issue for more background):

git clone -c fetch.fsck.badTimezone=ignore https://github.com/psf/requests.git

You can also apply this setting to your global Git config:

git config --global fetch.fsck.badTimezone ignore
