Django creating/making POST request with headers

I want to make a POST request programmatically with a custom headers. How can I do that?

Actually i am trying to do this; use google shortener api. Maybe i misunderstood :/

Thanks you in advance :)

Solution

  • To send an POST request with Python and with headers you can do something like

    import urllib2
import json
data = {'data':'data'}
url = api_url
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPHandler)
request = urllib2.Request(url, data=json.dumps(data))
request.add_header("Content-Type", "application/json") #Header, Value                                        
opener.open(request)
