How to send a “multipart/form-data” with requests in python?

Question

How to send a multipart/form-data with requests in python? How to send a file, I understand, but how to send the form data by this method can not understand.

Answer 1

I'm trying to send a request to URL_server with request module in python 3. This works for me:

# -*- coding: utf-8 *-*
import json, requests

URL_SERVER_TO_POST_DATA = "URL_to_send_POST_request"
HEADERS = {"Content-Type" : "multipart/form-data;"}

def getPointsCC_Function():
  file_data = {
      'var1': (None, "valueOfYourVariable_1"),
      'var2': (None, "valueOfYourVariable_2")
  }

  try:
    resElastic = requests.post(URL_GET_BALANCE, files=file_data)
    res = resElastic.json()
  except Exception as e:
    print(e)

  print (json.dumps(res, indent=4, sort_keys=True))

getPointsCC_Function()

Where:

• URL_SERVER_TO_POST_DATA = Server where we going to send data
• HEADERS = Headers sended
• file_data = Params sended
