how to pass different parameters to different methods in one statement?

I need to make several requests, using either get or post method, I want to write the requests into one statement like

response = getattr(requests, method)(url, parameters)

when method == 'get', Above should work as response = getattr(requests, method)(url, params=parameters), when method == 'post', it should work as response = getattr(requests, method)(url, json=parameters)

params = xxx
json =yyy

if method == 'GET':
   response = getattr(requests, method)(url, parameters = params)
elif method == 'POST':
   response = getattr(requests, method)(url, parameters = json)

You can rely on destructuring for something that doesn't look too terribly ugly.

response = getattr(requests, method)(url, **{('params' if method=='get' else 'json'):parameters})

def getattr(method):
    if method == "get": return requests.get
    elif method == "post": return requests.post

When you call getattr(method) it will return a function object accordingly. Next you can call the returned function object accordingly.

response = getattr("get")(url, params=parameters) translates to response = requests.get(url, params=parameters)
