# 200
print(response.status_code)
# {
# "userId": 1,
# "id": 1,
# "title": "sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit",
# "body": "quia et suscipit\nsuscipit recusandae consequuntur expedita et cum\nreprehenderit molestiae ut ut quas totam\nnostrum rerum est autem sunt rem eveniet architecto"
#}
print(response.text)
# https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1
print(response.url)
# application\json; charset=utf-8
print(response.headers['Content-Type'])

print(type(response.json()))
# for more information
# print(dir(response))
What's POST request

headers = {'content-type': 'application/json; charset=UTF-8'}
response = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
# 201
print(response.status_code)
# True
print(response.ok)
# b'{\n "title": "buy new mouse",\n "body": "I need to buy a new mouse !",\n "userId": 5,\n "id": 101\n}'
print(response.content)
# {
# "title": "buy new mouse",
# "body": "I need to buy a new mouse !",
# "userId": 5,
# "id": 101
# }
print(response.text)
# <class 'str'>
print(type(response.text))
# https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts

# application/json; charset=utf-8
print(response.headers['Content-Type'])
# utf-8
print(response.encoding)
What's the PUT request

headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json; charset=UTF-8'}
response = requests.put(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
# 200
print(response.status_code)
# True
print(response.ok)
# b'{\n "id": 1,\n "userId": 2,\n "title": "drink water",\n "body": "drinking water is important"\n}'
print(response.content)
# {
