什么是python请求相当于以下curl命令

Question

On ably.io they have an example where one can use the following curl request to publish a message to a channel:

curl -X POST https://rest.ably.io/channels/channelname/messages \
 -u "some_AP.aYYMcQ:VmGHauKOqo-35Zxo" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --data '{ "name": "greeting", "data": "example" }'

The value passed to -u is an API key that has publish privileges. How does one make the same post request using Python requests library? I searched the documentation but could not find it. Note there is no password here, only the api key.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You could use this:

requests.post("https://rest.ably.io/channels/channelname/messages",
    auth=('some_AP.aYYMcQ', 'VmGHauKOqo-35Zxo'), # Equivalent of -u
    json={ "name": "greeting", "data": "example" }) # Equivalent of --data

When you use the json option, -H is automatically set to Content-Type: application/json .
