importing the requests module

[visjble]

I tried the following:

    <py-script>
      import requests
      url = 'https://www.google.com'
      data = requests.get(url)
      print(data)
    </py-script>

with an error:
raise SSLError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.google.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available."))

What is the best way to implement the requests?

Hello @visjble thank you for creating this discussion!

There are a few different ways you can do this. If you want to use requests you can install pyodide-http and patch requests. Here's an example code of what I mean:

<py-config>
packages = ["requests",  "pyodide-http"]
</py-config>

<py-script>
import pyodide_http
pyodide_http.patch_all()

import requests
url = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/2'
data = requests.get(url)
print(data)
</py-script>

This is the easiest way to do it. Alternatively, you can create your own requests module following the great guide created by @JeffersGlass - How to make HTTP requests using PyScript, in pure Python.

Please let us know if this solves your problem 😄

Oh it might also be worth to mention that google will reject the XMLHttpRequest due to CORS if you are running locally. You may want to replace the URL with something like https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/2 for testing 😄

aahg, I thought that was going to be the case with CORS. What a pain in the Batoozy
