How to pass query strings for to params for requests.get?

Question

Given is a string:

'search=hello+world&status=something&cache=false' 

How do I pass parameters and values from that string to a payload dictionary given that I'm not sure what parameters I will always get from the string in order to use it in requests.get()?

requests.get(url, params=payload, headers=headers)

Answer 1

you can give as follows

 url = url + '?'+ your_parm_string r = requests.get(url, headers=headers) 

Answer 2

string = 'search=hello+world&status=something&cache=false'
params = string.split('&')
payload = {}
for params in param:
    p = param.split('=')
    payload[p[0]] = p[1]
print(payload)
{'search': 'hello+world', 'status': 'something', 'cache': 'false'}

Answer 3

Use a dict comprehension :

def split_params(param_string):
   return {param: value for param, value in (pair.split('=') for pair in param_string.split('&'))}

split_params('search=hello+world&status=something&cache=false')

Output:

{'search': 'hello+world', 'status': 'something', 'cache': 'false'}

This is based off the observation that each param-value pair is separated externally by an & and internally by an = .
