How can I get variables from URL using Python(2.7)?

Question

The following works when I paste it on the browser:

localhost://api/get_url.py?x=xxx&y=yyy

how can i store the values of x and y in a variable passing from url ?

Answer 1

The requests module has made it really simple.

Please read: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/quickstart/#passing-parameters-in-urls

import requests
response = requests.get('localhost://api/get_url.py', params={'x': x, 'y': y})
