Using urllib2
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Python's standard library comes with some nice modules
|
|
you can use to test your api or even write a full client.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example which does a 'GET' on the `model-resource` examle
|
|
in the sandbox.::
|
|
|
|
import urllib2
|
|
>>> r = urllib2.urlopen('htpp://rest.ep.io/model-resource-example')
|
|
# You can check if the response was ok:
|
|
>>> r.getcode()
|
|
200
|
|
# Or examin the resonse itself:
|
|
>>> print r.read()
|
|
[{"url": "http://rest.ep.io/model-resource-example/1/", "baz": "sdf", "foo": true, "bar": 123}]
|
|
|
|
And here's an example which does a 'POST' to create a new instance::
|
|
|
|
# First encode tha data we want to POST, we'll use urllib for encoding
|
|
# and the time module to send the current time as as a string value for our POST
|
|
>>> import urllib, time
|
|
>>> d = urllib.urlencode((('bar', 123), ('baz', time.asctime())))
|
|
# Now use the Request class and specify the 'Content-type'
|
|
>>> req = urllib2.Request('http://rest.ep.io/model-resource-example/', data=d, headers={'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'})
|
|
>>> resp = urllib2.urlopen(req)
|
|
>>> resp.getcode()
|
|
201
|
|
>>> resp.read()
|
|
'{"url": "http://rest.ep.io/model-resource-example/4/", "baz": "Fri Dec 30 18:22:52 2011", "foo": false, "bar": 123}'
|
|
|
|
That should get you started to write a client for your own api.
