How to convert curl command to Requests

I need to retrieve data from a REST API.

In the Centos shell I can do:

 curl -H "ID:1234" -H "Password:ABC" http://url.com/curl

I am trying to do this with Requests in Python.

On the quickstart page I see:

 payload = {'ID': '1234' , 'Password' : 'ABC' }
 requests.get("http://url.com/curl", params=payload)

However this doesn't work. It only returns the status 200, but no data.

Open chrome devtools > Network panel > right-click on a request > Copy as curl.

copy as curl

Next, paste the curl command into the web form linked below (I have no affiliation with the site)

There is also a pip package for this: (not tested)

With the -H handle for curl, you're setting header values. In requests, you pass header data the same way you do with the params but you use a different keyword.

headers = {'ID': '1234' , 'Password' : 'ABC' }
requests.get("http://url.com/curl", headers=headers)

See Custom Headers from the requests doc
