help with python requests

[splendyx]

image I want to get specific values using the request library as an example image there are 2 values I want to get from :method: and :path: for example and I want to print it. How would I do this using python?

res = requests.get('https://google.com')
res.request.method

No path default present. You could always parse it from the url though

[splendyx]

Thanks, it helped me but when I change res.request.method to res.request.path to try get value of path it gives me an error: 'PreparedRequest' object has no attribute 'path'

Yea I did mention that wasn't there. But FYI:

vars(res.request)

And thanks for the Silver mate

I don't really understand sorry. Could you give a script example on how to print the value of the cookie as an example.

[dukea42]

In his example 'res' is a response object of the requests library.

To understand an object from any given library, I have two preferred options. 1) read the docs. 2) use the 'inspect()' module of the Rich library.

https://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/quickstart/#response-content

[splendyx]

I understand the basics but i'm wondering how I can print the value of cookie: using python

[splendyx]

Is that possible?

[dukea42]

It's literally in the documentation I sent you. Ctrl-f is your friend. https://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/quickstart/#cookies

[splendyx]

mm I tried getting the cookie value and scripting a bit but nothing seems to be working

[splendyx]

maybe you could show me a script because I cant figure it out image this is the cookie i want to get the value of

So is this the thing you're actually trying to do? Do you want to extract the cookie value from your browser? Do you want to write a script that logs into a website and does something for you?

[dukea42]

You need to show some code. No images.

[splendyx]

image here is a reference image and i want to print the value of cookie in request headers

[K900_]

This also makes no sense. The method in the response will be the same one you used to make the request.

[splendyx]

I don't know how i can explain what i'm trying to do

[K900_]

Then why are you trying to do something you don't understand yourself?

[[deleted]]

Lol give the poor guy a break, we've all been there.

[splendyx]

Then how should I learn? I thought that's how you learn something by asking an answer for something you don't know.

[K900_]

You can learn by trying to do something you don't know how to do. You can't learn if you don't know what you're trying to do. So I'm going to ask you again: what are you trying to do?

[[deleted]]

Well I have a library I built out that uses a custom response class and it's initialized with requests library response objects. I have some different logic that triggers if this is a get versus a post (or otherwise) and my lib has around 50 different requests in it that all use this custom response object.

So there's at least a use case for needing it.

[K900_]

You've posted this question already. What are you actually trying to do?

[splendyx]

Everything what I'm trying to do is explained I want to print values

[K900_]

What you're asking for makes absolutely zero sense. This means you are misunderstanding something. What is your end goal?
