this is my first ever question on here.
Currently I am looking into the Python requests module. I am trying to automate a task for which i need to pass on a csrf token.
The csrf token can be found in the payload of a previous request.
How can I extract the value out of the Payload?
Example Payload:
value1: ABCD
value2: EFGH
csrf_token: the token I am looking for
value3: false
Sorry if this is a dumb or easy question but I am not able to solve it right now.
Thanks for your help!
Here are some examples of where the data you might be looking for is located.
import requests
response = requests.get('http://some_url')
# raise an exception if the status code != 200
response.raise_for_status()
# the contents of the response. (bytes)
contents = response.contents
# the contents of the response if the contents are
# formatted as JSON. (dictionary)
contents = response.json()
# the headers of the response. (dictionary)
headers = response.headers
# You also have to consider if you are using the correct HTTP protocol
payload = {}
response = requests.put('http://some_url', json=payload)
response = requests.post('http://some_url', json=payload)
# the responses are going to function just like when using the "get" protocol

I need to print all requests from specific Postman collection. I have this code:
import requests
# Set up Postman API endpoint and authorization
postman_api_endpoint = "https://api.getpostman.com/collections"
postman_api_key = "PMAK-63b6bf724ebf902ad13d4bf2-e683c12d426716552861acda**********"
headers = {"X-Api-Key": postman_api_key}
# Get all requests from Postman collection
collection_id = "25184041-c1537769-f598-4c0e-b8ae-8cd185a79c03"
response = requests.get(f"{postman_api_endpoint}/{collection_id}/items", headers)
if response.status_code != 200:
print("Error retrieving collection:", response.text)
else:
# Print all requests
requests_data = response.json()["items"]
for request_data in requests_data:
request_method = request_data["request"]["method"]
request_url = request_data["request"]["url"]
request_headers = request_data["request"]["header"]
request_body = request_data["request"]["body"]["raw"] \
if request_data["request"]["body"]["mode"] == "raw" else ""
print(f"{request_method} {request_url}")
print("Headers:")
for header in request_headers:
print(f"{header['key']}: {header['value']}")
print("Body:")
print(request_body)
I received an error while I try to call response.text and have such massage:
Error retrieving collection: {"error":{"name":"notFound","message":"Requested resource not found"}}
Which means that I have 404 error. I have several assumptions what I did wrong:
I entered incorrect api key(But I checked several times and regenerated it twice)
I entered incorrect collection id, but in the screen below you can see where I took it and it is correct
And as I think the most likely variant I wrote incorrect request where I put my key and my collection id(I din't find any example how such requests should be like)
And of course I have requests in my collection, so error can not be because the collection is empty
Please give me some advice how I can fix this error. Thank you!
The answer is actually is really simple. I didn't know that I need to push button save request in Postman. I think if I create request in collection it will automatically save it. But I didn't, so I just saved all requests manually and finally receive correct response.
The following figure shows the TMDb endpoint documentation by which a client can request a movie or TV show be added to a user's watchlist, where the user has previously established a session_id.
Based on the developer documentation, and using the (fictional) values of the various pieces that need to be part of the request and that are presented in the following table:
Question !!
Can you please provide the HTTP for this request? You can present the request in a line-oriented fashion, and without needing to note linefeeds or carriage returns.
If you are asking about writing code, the following lines could be useful for you:
import requests
account_id = 12345
url = 'https://YOUR_URL.com/accout/' + account_id + '/watchlist'
payload = {'media_type': 'movie', 'media_id': 777, 'watchlist': 'true'}
x = requests.post(url, data = payload)
print(x.text)
Where is:
requests.post(url, data={key: value}, json={key: value} -> string, args)
I am just trying to access an API through Postman and its wokring fine.The Postman header response is returning some details like below
Authentication-Token →/DwG7gAxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Connection →keep-alive
Content-Length →16
Content-Type →application/json;charset=UTF-8
Date →Tue, 25 Sep 2018 17:44:01 GMT
Server →Apache-Coyote/1.1
But when I am trying to do same in Python I am just receivig the response status.(200)
How can I get the above Authentication-Token etc details like Postman in python code.
import requests
import json
url = 'https://test-orchestrator.lmig.com/baocdp/rest/login/'
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
data1 = {"username":"abc", "password":"abc"}
print("Testing authentication for Remedy test environment...")
change_response=requests.post(url,data=json.dumps(data1),headers=headers)
print(change_response)
If you print change_response, it will most likely look like this <status [200]> or something to that effect. If you want to see the contents of the response, you can use the vars response.text, response.content, or response.headers (among others) or since this is a json response, you can use the method response.json() to convert the contents of the response into a dictionary full of native Python data types.
I would reccommend x = response.json(), as the contents of your response seem to contain an auth token that you will most likely need to communicate with this device further. You can then use auth+token = x[token_key] to isolate that token.
Before downvoting/marking as duplicate, please note:
I have already tried out this, this, this, this,this, this - basically almost all the methods I could find pointed out by the Requests documentation but do not seem to find any solution.
Problem:
I want to make a POST request with a set of headers and form data.
There are no files to be uploaded. As per the request body in Postman, we set the parameters by selecting 'form-data' under the 'Body' section for the request.
Here is the code I have:
headers = {'authorization': token_string,
'content-type':'multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryxxxxxXXXXX12345'} # I get 'unsupported application/x-www-form-url-encoded' error if I remove this line
body = {
'foo1':'bar1',
'foo2':'bar2',
#... and other form data, NO FILE UPLOADED
}
#I have also tried the below approach
payload = dict()
payload['foo1']='bar1'
payload['foo2']='bar2'
page = ''
page = requests.post(url, proxies=proxies, headers=headers,
json=body, files=json.dump(body)) # also tried data=body,data=payload,files={} when giving data values
Error
{"errorCode":404,"message":"Required String parameter 'foo1' is not
present"}
EDIT:
Adding a trace of the network console. I am defining it in the same way in the payload as mentioned on the request payload.
There isn't any gui at all? You could get the network data from chrome, although:
Try this:
headers = {'authorization': token_string}
Probably there is more authorization? Or smthng else?
You shouldn't add Content-Type as requests will handle it for you.
Important, you could see the content type as WebKitFormBoundary, so for the payload you must take, the data from the "name" variable.
Example:
(I know you won't upload any file, it just an example) -
So in this case, for my payload would look like this: payload = {'photo':'myphoto'} (yea there would be an open file etc etc, but I try to keep it simple)
So your payload would be this-> (So always use name from the WebKit)
payload = {'foo1':'foo1data',
'foo2':'foo2data'}
session.post(url,data = payload, proxies etc...)
Important! As I can see you use the method from requests library. Firstly you always should create a session like this
session = requests.session() -> it will handle cookies, headers, etc, and won't open a new session, or plain requests with every requests.get/post.
With the firefox plugin "HttpFox" i'm getting the POST request which looks like this:
{'json':'{"command":"SEARCH","data":{"someData":"someValue","otherData":"otherData"}}'}
Now i need to send a http request build with python to get the same data as i would get via browser. See code:
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'}
payload = ?
req = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers = headers)
My problem is:
I'm not sure how to build the payload. It should be a dictionary as well, but im confused because of the POST type which is delivered with HttpFox. There are two dictionaries inside the main dictionary.
How should i handle this ?
Appreciate any help.
Ok, i found the solution:
It was necessary to build a dict like this:
valueString = """{"command":"SEARCH","data":{"someData":"someValue","otherData":"otherData"}}"""
/// the """ ensures that the whole text between """ is handled as a string.
payload = {'json': valueString}
The key 'json' requieres a string. In this case the string looks like a dictionary.
That's it.
