Trying to get the raw data of the HTTP response content in requests
in Python. I am interested in forwarding the response through another channel, which means that ideally the content should be as pristine as possible.
What would be a good way to do this?
Thanks very much!
If you are using a requests.get
call to obtain your HTTP response, you can use the raw
attribute of the response. Here is the code from the requests
docs.
>>> r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json', stream=True)
>>> r.raw
<requests.packages.urllib3.response.HTTPResponse object at 0x101194810>
>>> r.raw.read(10)
'\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03'
After requests.get()
, you can use r.content
to extract the raw Byte-type content.
r = requests.get('https://yourweb.com', stream=True)
r.content
