Python Requests - Dynamically Pass HTTP Verb

Question

Is there a way to pass an HTTP verb (PATCH/POST) to a function and dynamically use that verb for Python requests?

For example, I want this function to take a \'verb\' va

Answer 1

Just use the request() method. First argument is the HTTP verb that you want to use. get(), post(), etc. are just aliases to request('GET'), request('POST'): https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/api/#requests.request

verb = 'POST'
response = requests.request(verb, headers=self.auth,
     url=self.API + '/zones/' + str(zID) + '/dns_records',
     data={"type":record[0], "name":record[1], "content":record[2]}
)
