How to curl in Python with header, data?

Question

I'm trying replace the following curl command by a Python script:

curl --request POST \
 --url https://xx.com/login \
 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --data '{
"email": "[email protected]",
"password": "PASSWORD"
}'

Script that I tried:

import urllib.request
import json

body = {"email": "[email protected]","password": "xxx"}
myurl = "https://xx.com/login"

req = urllib.request.Request(myurl)
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=utf-8')
jsondata = json.dumps(body)
jsondataasbytes = jsondata.encode('utf-8')   # needs to be bytes
req.add_header('Content-Length', len(jsondataasbytes))
response = urllib.request.urlopen(req, jsondataasbytes)

When I tried to run this script, it doesn't return me anything and show processed completed. Is my code logic correct? Or there is something wrong with my code?

Answer 1

you can simply just use requests:

import requests

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}

data = '{\n"email": "[email protected]",\n"password": "PASSWORD"\n}'

response = requests.post('https://xx.com/login', headers=headers, data=data)
