Response not loading in localhost when using requests.request method in python

  print("API IS RUNNING.......")
  app.listen(8887)
  tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()

Actually I am trying to create an API and the result of the API can be used but The page keeps on loading, and no response is shown. Response should be a python dictionary send by post function of class processRequestHandler After using a debugger the lines after response = requests.request('POST',url,headers=headers,data=send_data) are not executed. The class processRequestHandler is working fine when checked with POSTMAN.

Solution

requests.request is a blocking method. This blocks the event loop and prevents any other handlers from running. In a Tornado handler, you need to use Tornado's AsyncHTTPClient (or another non-blocking HTTP client such as aiohttp) instead.

async def post(self):
    ...
    response = await AsyncHTTPClient().fetch(url, method='POST', headers=headers, body=send_data)

See the Tornado users's guide for more information.
