How can I save python HTTP requests from python-recets so that I can execute it later?

Question

I want to save an HTTP request made through a python request library, so I can execute them later with minimal effort.

Note that it would be great if I could save them in a format that would allow me to restore them, even if the python requests are modified.

If you intend to save certain sites and explicit requests, simply write the r.url value to a text file. Here is the basic idea:

import requests url = "http://example.com/" r = requests.get(url) afile = open("/path/to/filename.txt", "a") afile.write(r.url) afile.write("\n") afile.close() 

Note. If you do this with a POST request and include the authentication data, then secret data (auth keys, passwords, etc.) can be stored in the file.
