I have the following code that I'd like to update to Python 3.x The required libraries would change to http.client and json.
I can't seem to understand how to do it. Can you please help?
import urllib2
import json
data = {"text": "Hello world github/linguist#1 **cool**, and #1!"}
json_data = json.dumps(data)
req = urllib2.Request("https://api.github.com/markdown")
result = urllib2.urlopen(req, json_data)
print '\n'.join(result.readlines())
import http.client
import json
connection = http.client.HTTPSConnection('api.github.com')
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json'}
foo = {'text': 'Hello world github/linguist#1 **cool**, and #1!'}
json_foo = json.dumps(foo)
connection.request('POST', '/markdown', json_foo, headers)
response = connection.getresponse()
print(response.read().decode())
I will walk you through it. First you'll need to create a TCP connection that you will use to communicate with the remote server.
>>> connection = http.client.HTTPSConnection('api.github.com')
-- http.client.HTTPSConnection()
Thẹ̣n you will need to specify the request headers.
>>> headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json'}
In this case we're saying that the request body is of the type application/json.
Next we will generate the json data from a python dict()
>>> foo = {'text': 'Hello world github/linguist#1 **cool**, and #1!'}
>>> json_foo = json.dumps(foo)
Then we send an HTTP request to over the HTTPS connection.
>>> connection.request('POST', '/markdown', json_foo, headers)
Get the response and read it.
>>> response = connection.getresponse()
>>> response.read()
b'<p>Hello world github/linguist#1 <strong>cool</strong>, and #1!</p>'
