Introduction

In this blog, I am going to show how to post JSON information in the Python console.
Software requirement
Python 3.5 and IDLE (Python 3.5)
Programming code
  1. #Posting json in Python
  2. #import packages
  3. import requests
  4. import simplejson as json
  5. #variable
  6. url="https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url"
  7. #Payload
  8. payload={"longUrl": "http://www.google.com/"}
  9. #Headers

  11. #Request
  12. r= requests.post(url, json=payload)
  13. #Output statement
  14. print(r.text)
About the code
First, I am importing the requests and simplejson modules.
Next, setting a variable and assigning the payload, headers value.
Finally, I have written the request and output statement to show the result in the Python console.
Then, let’s execute the code.
