How do I use the Requests library in Python?

The Requests library is a popular HTTP library for Python. You can use it to send HTTP requests easily. Would you like a basic example?

Yes, please provide a simple example.

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import requests

response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/data')
print(response.json())

This code sends a GET request to the specified URL and prints the JSON response.

What if I want to send data with a POST request?

You can use the requests.post() method. Here's an example:

import requests

data = {'key': 'value'}
response = requests.post('https://api.example.com/submit', json=data)
print(response.json())

This sends a POST request with JSON data.

How do I handle errors in the response?

You can check the response status code. For example:

if response.status_code == 200:
    print('Success!')
else:
    print('Error:', response.status_code)

This checks if the request was successful.
