upload files in requests

 

 

the easiest way

>>> url = 'http://httpbin.org/post'
>>> files = {'file': open('report.xls', 'rb')} >>> r = requests.post(url, files=files) >>> r.text { ... "files": { "file": "<censored...binary...data>" }, ... } 

You can explicitly set the filename, filetype and request headers:

>>> url = 'http://httpbin.org/post'
>>> files = {'file': ('report.xls', open('report.xls', 'rb'), 'application/vnd.ms-excel', {'Expires': '0'})} >>> r = requests.post(url, files=files) >>> r.text { ... "files": { "file": "<censored...binary...data>" }, ... }
