Usage

Simple get request

>>> import human_curl as requests # python-requests.org compatibile >>> # import human_curl as hurl # unfortunately hurl.it keeps this name :-) >>> r = hurl.get('http://h.wrttn.me/basic-auth/test_username/test_password', ... auth=('test_username', 'test_password')) >>> r.status_code 200 >>> r.content '{"username": "test_username", "password": "test_password", "authenticated": true}'

Cookies and headers

>>> import human_curl as hurl # python-requests.org compatibile >>> r = hurl.get("http://h.wrttn.me/cookies/set/ajfwjlknefjrrf/fkjwnfklrnjge") >>> r.cookies {'ajfwjlknefjrrf': 'fkjwnfklrnjge'} >>> r.headers['etag'] bf21a9e8fbc5a3846fb05b4fa0859e0917b2202f >>> r.headers {'connection': 'keep-alive', 'content-length': '2', 'content-type': 'text/html; charset=UTF-8', 'date': 'Mon, 05 Sep 2011 20:28:47 GMT', 'etag': 'bf21a9e8fbc5a3846fb05b4fa0859e0917b2202f', 'server': 'LightBeer/0.568'}

Send files and variables

>>> import human_curl as hurl >>> r = hurl.post('http://h.wrttn.me/post', files=(('file_1', '/tmp/testfile1.txt'), ... ('file2', open('/tmp/testfile2.txt'))), data={'var_name': 'var_value'}) >>> r.status_code 201

Redirects

>>> import human_curl as hurl >>> r = hurl.get('http://h.wrttn.me/redirect/4', allow_redirects=True) >>> r.status_code 200 >>> print(r.history) ['http://h.wrttn.me/redirect/3', 'http://h.wrttn.me/redirect/2', 'http://h.wrttn.me/redirect/1', 'http://h.wrttn.me/redirect/end'] >>> print(r.url) http://h.wrttn.me/redirect/end

Auth managers

>>> import human_curl as hurl >>> from human_curl.auth import BasicAuth, DigestAuth >>> auth_manager = DigesAuth('username', 'password') >>> r = hurl.post('http://h.wrttn.me/digest-auth/auth/username/password', ... auth=auth_manager) >>> r.status_code 200 >>> basic_auth_manager = BasicAuth('username', 'password') >>> r = hurl.post('http://h.wrttn.me/basic-auth/username/password', ... auth=basic_auth_manager) >>> r.status_code 200 >>> oauth_manager = OAuthManager((CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET), (TOKEN_KEY, TOKEN_SECRET)) >>> r = hurl.get('http://oauth-protected.com/resource', auth=oauth_manager) >>> r.status_code 200

Debug requests

>>> import human_curl as hurl >>> # stdout_debug(debug_type, debug_msg) >>> r = hurl.get("https://h.wrttn.me/basic-auth/username/password", ... debug=stdout_debug, allow_redirects=False, ... auth=("username", "password")) >>> print(r.status_code) 200

Async requests

>>> from human_curl.async import AsyncClient >>> async_client = AsyncClient(success_callback=lambda kw: print kw, ... fail_callback=lambdakw: print kw) >>> async_client.get('http://h.wrttn.me/get') >>> async_client.get('http://httpbin.org/get', ... success_callback=lambda kw: print("success!"), ... fail_callback=lambdakw: print("fail!") >>> async_client.start()
