While building something nice on Koornk (Slovenian Twitter like service), I stopped for a few months to learn how to do Authenticated POST requests using Python. I found urllib2 way too complicated, but soon I stumbled across great Yahoo Developer page – Make Yahoo! Web Service REST calls with Python<\/a> that also lists alternative approach using httplib2 which then works beautifully.<\/p>\n

Here’s the snippet of code used:<\/p>\n

import urllib
\nimport httplib2
\nhttp = httplib2.Http()<\/code><\/p>\n

url = ‘http:\/\/www.koornk.com\/api\/update\/’
\nusername = ‘USERNAME’
\npassword = ‘PASSWORD’<\/p>\n

http.add_credentials(username, password)<\/p>\n

params = urllib.urlencode({‘status’: ‘ hey, im testing koornk api – httplib2 python request’})<\/p>\n

response, content = http.request(url, ‘POST’, params,
\nheaders={‘Content-type’: ‘application\/x-www-form-urlencoded’})<\/p>\n

import simplejson
\nfrom pprint import pprint
\ns = simplejson.loads(content)
\npprint(s)<\/p>\n
