Python http requests w3schools json

I'm happy to help you with that! Here's a detailed explanation on using Python's http.request() function to send HTTP requests and working with JSON data from W3Schools:

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data interchange format. It's often used to exchange data between web servers, web applications, and mobile apps. JSON data consists of name-value pairs, which are enclosed in curly braces {}. For example:

{
"name": "John",
"age": 30,
"city": "New York"
}

Sending HTTP Requests with Python

The http module in Python provides a way to send HTTP requests. One of its functions is request(), which takes five arguments:

Let's use this function to send a GET request to W3Schools' API, which returns JSON data about the top 10 programming languages:

import http
Set the URL and method
url = "https://www.w3schools.com/tags/json/top10_programming_languages.json"
method = "GET"
Set the headers (optional)
headers = {
"User-Agent": "My Python Script",
"Accept": "application/json"
}
Send the request
response = http.request(method, url, headers=headers)
Check if the response was successful
if response.status_code == 200:
Get the JSON data from the response
json_data = response.json()
print(json_data)
else:
print("Failed to retrieve data")

Working with JSON Data

Once we have the JSON data, we can work with it using Python's built-in json module. Let's assume the JSON data is stored in a string called json_string. We can parse this string into a Python dictionary using the following code:

import json
Parse the JSON string into a Python dictionary
data = json.loads(json_string)
print("Programming Languages:")
for language in data:
print(f"{language['name']} - {language['percentage']}")

Full Code Example

Here's the full code example that combines the previous snippets:

import http
import json
Set the URL and method
url = "https://www.w3schools.com/tags/json/top10_programming_languages.json"
method = "GET"
Set the headers (optional)
headers = {
"User-Agent": "My Python Script",
"Accept": "application/json"
}
Send the request
response = http.request(method, url, headers=headers)
Check if the response was successful
if response.status_code == 200:
Get the JSON data from the response
json_string = response.text
data = json.loads(json_string)
print("Programming Languages:")
for language in data:
print(f"{language['name']} - {language['percentage']}")
else:
print("Failed to retrieve data")

This code sends a GET request to W3Schools' API, retrieves the JSON data, and then parses it into a Python dictionary. Finally, it prints out the names and percentages of the top 10 programming languages.

I hope this helps you get started with sending HTTP requests and working with JSON data in Python!
