How do I set headers using python's urllib?
For both Python 3 and Python 2, this works:
try:
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen # Python 3
except ImportError:
from urllib2 import Request, urlopen # Python 2
req = Request('http://api.company.com/items/details?country=US&language=en')
req.add_header('apikey', 'xxx')
content = urlopen(req).read()
print(content)
adding HTTP headers using urllib2:
from the docs:
import urllib2
req = urllib2.Request('http://www.example.com/')
req.add_header('Referer', 'http://www.python.org/')
resp = urllib2.urlopen(req)
content = resp.read()
