How to specify python requests http put body?

Solution 1:

Quoting from the docs

data – (optional) Dictionary or bytes to send in the body of the Request.

So this should work (not tested):

 filepath = 'yourfilename.txt'
 with open(filepath) as fh:
     mydata = fh.read()
     response = requests.put('https://api.elasticemail.com/attachments/upload',
                data=mydata,                         
                auth=('omer', 'b01ad0ce'),
                headers={'content-type':'text/plain'},
                params={'file': filepath}
                 )

Solution 2:

I got this thing worked using Python and it's request module. With this we can provide a file content as page input value. See code below,

import json
import requests

url = 'https://Client.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/87440'
headers = {'Content-Type': "application/json", 'Accept': "application/json"}
f = open("file.html", "r")
html = f.read()

data={}
data['id'] = "87440"
data['type']="page"
data['title']="Data Page"
data['space']={"key":"AB"}
data['body'] = {"storage":{"representation":"storage"}}
data['version']={"number":4}

print(data)

data['body']['storage']['value'] = html

print(data)

res = requests.put(url, json=data, headers=headers, auth=('Username', 'Password'))

print(res.status_code)
print(res.raise_for_status())

Feel free to ask if you have got any doubt.

NB: In this case the body of the request is being passed to the json kwarg.
