Send HTTP requests using RPA

GET request

A GET request primarily contains a URL, and can optionally include parameters and a header.

from rpa.core import *
from rpa.utils import *
import rpa4 as rpa # Use the V4 engine
import requests
import json

def start():
    # To pass parameters, you can append them to the URL or use the params object.
    # Append parameters to the URL.
    url = "http://YOUR-URL/"
    # Pass parameters using the params object.
    params = {
        "params1": "abc"
    }
    # The header is optional.
    headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"}
    response = requests.get(url, params=params, headers=headers)
    print(response.text)
    

POST request

A POST request primarily contains a URL and data, and can optionally include a header.

from rpa.core import *
from rpa.utils import *
import rpa4 as rpa # Use the V4 engine
import requests
import json

def start():
    # Start to write your application here.
    url = "http://YOUR-URL/"
    # The header is optional. Its content depends on the API rules.
    headers = {'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.198 Safari/537.36'}
    data = {
        "type": "text",
        "content": "text_content",
        "date": "20000101"
    }
    # If the API requires data in dict format.
    response = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)
    # If the API requires data in JSON format.
    response = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
    print(response.text)
