Answer 1

Try to uninstall requests and then again install it using pip

pip uninstall requests

and again install it

pip install requests

If you're using PyCharm as IDE, try closing and restarting PyCharm. Move the mouse cursor over the "requests" (with red curly line beneath it), until the red light bulb next to it show up. Select the first option in it, "Install package requests". PyCharm will take care of the installation from there.

I ran into the same issue and have tried all the solutions here on Stack Overflow.

If it is installed this will WORK:

c:\>python  (or on Mac/Linux "$ python")
>>> import requests
>>> requests.get("http://127.0.0.1")
<Response [200]>

If you see this error when running your script/IDE:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:\test.py", line 1, in <module>

import requests
ImportError: No module named requests

Try:

python script.py

Answer is based on https://www.edureka.co/community/84584/python-requests-module-import-error-module-named-requests

Then the trick for me was not to start up a VirtualEnv, I actually found I was running the x64 version of python when I'd installed the requests package into the python 32 bit folder c:\program files (x86)\python37-32\lib\site-packages. This is a screenshot from the internet but it shows you how to change the interpreter you're using - in my case - I need to set it to Python 3.7.4(x86) 32 bit:

Answer 4

Another cause of this might be multiple Python versions installations. So if you type in your terminal:

pip3 install requests 

The requests library will be automatically installed to your default python3, for example, Python3.6. However, let's say you have another Python version, for example, Python3.7, what you should do is:

pip3.7 install requests

This should solve this problem.

If you are running your code in the terminal, you should try:

python3.7 file_to_run.py

Answer 5

That's the exact solution which works for me, please follow this:

As like, first try to get the version of the requests module installed previously, this can be find by

pip install requests

Now, you will get the message:

Requirement already satisfied: requests in /opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages (2.24.0)

See, here the version of the requests module i.e., (2.24.0)

Now, the simple basic logic is this like you should install just the previous version of the requests (2.24.0). So, you should now install requests (2.20.0)

For this use command:

pip install requests==2.20.0

Now, I think you can test import requests and this will work fine.

Further, if any error occurs then please let me know in the comments.

Thanks, HaPpY Coding ?

Answer 6

Run in command prompt and write command pip install requests in scripts directory

cd \Python27\scripts
pip install requests

Answer 7

This issue is due to missing request module in python package .So you can use below command to install and recheck by restarting your IDE

pip install requests

If already installed better to upgrade

pip install --upgrade pip

Answer 8

If you are using venv (virtual environment), you may need to consider where it's path. for my case it was outside my project folder. So I had to first install request inside the main python's path then I recreate venv inside my project.

inside_your_project#python -m venv ./venv
