How to send '-X POST' request using 'requests' library in Python?

Question

I am trying to replicate shell command:

curl -X POST -u 'user:pass' https://databricksda.kdc.capitalone.com/api/1.2/commands/execute -d 'language=scala&clusterId=123&contextId=456&command=sc.parallelize(1 to 5).collect;'

into Python code using Requests library:

import requests

What is a proper syntax for this example (curl -X POST)?

Answer 1

Once you import the requests , convert the data being passed to an Object/dictionary and make the POST request. Here's the documentation

import requests

data = {
  'language': 'scala',
  'clusterId': '123',
  'contextId': '456',
  'command': 'sc.parallelize(1 to 5).collect;'
}

requests.post('https://databricksda.kdc.capitalone.com/api/1.2/commands/execute', data=data, auth=('user', 'pass'))
