Getting Started

After you installed this package, the next step is to import the package into your code and start using the functions.

from botcity.plugins.http import BotHttpPlugin

As a demonstration of the library, let's build a simple example together that will do something cool .

Step 1 of Example

To make the example we will...

# Instantiate the plugin
url = "https://ptsv2.com/t/ocrc3-1624379671/post"
http = BotHttpPlugin(url)

# Perform a simple GET request
print(http.get().text)
...

Step 2 of Example

# Set the parameters for a POST request
params = {
    'id': 'ocrc3-1624379671',
    'text': 'POST Example'
}
http.set_params(params)

# Print the server response
print(http.post().text)
...

Complete code

Let's take a look into the complete code:

from botcity.plugins.http import BotHttpPlugin


# Instantiates the plugin
url = "https://ptsv2.com/t/ocrc3-1624379671/post"
http = BotHttpPlugin(url)

# Performs a simple GET request
print(http.get().text)

# Sets the parameters for a POST request
params = {
    'id': 'ocrc3-1624379671',
    'text': 'POST Example'
}
http.set_params(params)

# Prints the server response
print(http.post().text)

Pro Tip

This plugin allow you to use method chaining so the code above could be written as:

http = BotHttpPlugin("https://ptsv2.com/t/ocrc3-1624379671/post")
print(http.get().text)
print(http.set_param('id', 'ocrc3-1624379671').set_param('text', 'POST Example').post().text)
