URL Request

wrapper for urllib.request.urlopen

Very limited drop-in replacement for requests when you cant import requests and need to use the built in urllib.request library

Supports (url,data,json,headers,timeout,auth)

Optional: Added (method) to be used in place to .post .get .etc takes: 'POST','GET','PUT','DELETE','HEAD','PATCH'

Added (callraise) default is true and will raise exceptions, false will disable exceptions.

Can be used via pip or just copy the class into your project

pip install urlrequest

from urlrequest import UrlRequest

response = UrlRequest('https://httpbin.org/ip')
print(response.text)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.headers)
print(response.json())

response = UrlRequest("https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/password",auth=('user','password'))
print(response.text)

response = UrlRequest("https://httpbin.org/post",method="POST",json={"hello":"world"})
print(response.text)

response = UrlRequest("https://httpbin.org/image/png")
with open("test.png","wb") as f:
    f.write(response.raw)
print(response.status_code)

# drop in for requests
from urlrequest import UrlRequest as requests
response = requests.get("https://httpbin.org/headers",headers={"hello":"world header test"})
