URL can be given without query parameters, to be added later using "format_parameters".

HttpRequest

Constructor

HttpRequest(method: str, url: str, headers: Mapping[str, str] | None = None, files: Any | None = None, data: bytes | str | Dict[str, str | int] | None = None)

Parameters

Name	Description
method Required	str HTTP method (GET, HEAD, etc.)
url Required	str At least complete scheme/host/path
headers	dict[str,str] HTTP headers Default value: None
files	dict[str, tuple[str, IO, str, dict]] or dict[str, IO] Dictionary of 'name': file-like-objects (or {'name': file-tuple}) for multipart encoding upload. file-tuple can be a 2-tuple ('filename', fileobj), 3-tuple ('filename', fileobj, 'content_type') or a 4-tuple ('filename', fileobj, 'content_type', custom_headers), where 'content_type' is a string defining the content type of the given file and custom_headers a dict-like object containing additional headers to add for the file. Default value: None
data	bytes or dict (<xref:for form>) Body to be sent. Default value: None

Methods

format_parameters	Format parameters into a valid query string. It's assumed all parameters have already been quoted as valid URL strings.
prepare_multipart_body	Will prepare the body of this request according to the multipart information. This call assumes the on_request policies have been applied already in their correct context (sync/async) Does nothing if "set_multipart_mixed" was never called.
serialize	Serialize this request using application/http spec.
set_bytes_body	Set generic bytes as the body of the request. Will set content-length.
set_formdata_body	Set form-encoded data as the body of the request.
set_json_body	Set a JSON-friendly object as the body of the request.
set_multipart_mixed	Set the part of a multipart/mixed. Only supported args for now are HttpRequest objects. boundary is optional, and one will be generated if you don't provide one. Note that no verification are made on the boundary, this is considered advanced enough so you know how to respect RFC1341 7.2.1 and provide a correct boundary. Any additional kwargs will be passed into the pipeline context for per-request policy configuration.
set_streamed_data_body	Set a streamable data body.
set_text_body	Set a text as body of the request.
set_xml_body	Set an XML element tree as the body of the request.

format_parameters

Format parameters into a valid query string. It's assumed all parameters have already been quoted as valid URL strings.

format_parameters(params: Dict[str, str]) -> None

Parameters

Name	Description

Will prepare the body of this request according to the multipart information.

This call assumes the on_request policies have been applied already in their correct context (sync/async)

Does nothing if "set_multipart_mixed" was never called.

prepare_multipart_body(content_index: int = 0) -> int

content_index	int The current index of parts within the batch message. Default value: 0

Returns

Type	Description
int	The updated index after all parts in this request have been added.

serialize

Serialize this request using application/http spec.

serialize() -> bytes

Returns

Type	Description
bytes	The requests serialized as HTTP low-level message in bytes.

set_bytes_body

Set generic bytes as the body of the request.

Will set content-length.

set_bytes_body(data: bytes) -> None

Parameters

Name	Description
data Required	bytes The request field data.

set_formdata_body

Set form-encoded data as the body of the request.

set_formdata_body(data: Dict[str, str] | None = None) -> None

Parameters

Name	Description
data	dict The request field data. Default value: None

set_json_body

Set a JSON-friendly object as the body of the request.

set_json_body(data: Any) -> None

Parameters

Name	Description
data Required	dict A JSON serializable object

set_multipart_mixed

Set the part of a multipart/mixed.

Only supported args for now are HttpRequest objects.

boundary is optional, and one will be generated if you don't provide one. Note that no verification are made on the boundary, this is considered advanced enough so you know how to respect RFC1341 7.2.1 and provide a correct boundary.

Any additional kwargs will be passed into the pipeline context for per-request policy configuration.

set_multipart_mixed(*requests: HttpRequest, policies: List[SansIOHTTPPolicy[HTTPRequestType, HTTPResponseType]] | None = None, boundary: str | None = None, **kwargs: Any) -> None

Parameters
