Python equivalent of PHP curl request

Question

I\'m using Rauth for my queries to the Beatport API. I\'m using this working example in PHP as reference.

This PHP code below uses a request token to log in and auth

Answer 1

You should use urlopen to issue requests.

A simple example:

import urllib2
result = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.google.com/")
print result.read()

Read more here: http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib2.html

Google urlopen code examples, and you will find what you need.

Answer 2

Why not just use requests? http://www.python-requests.org/en/latest/

This library should be able to do what this php code is doing easily.

Answer 3

use pycurl it is a python implementation of lib curl.

import pycurl
c = pycurl.Curl()
c.setopt(pycurl.URL, "http://www.python.org/")
c.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, ["Accept:"])
...

you can find more examples and documentation here http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/doc/curlobject.html

Answer 4

I wouldn't bother trying to convert PHP code into python, but instead just search for a Python way of getting this answer. A little googling and it looks like this might be a duplicate:
