02. [20p] Making HTTP Requests

Now that we have the requests library, we can easily send HTTP requests to any URL. This prompts the server to respond with the information we need. When the request is successful, the server will reply with a standard status code: 200 (Success), indicating everything went smoothly. Simply replace the URL with the desired website (try a wikipedia page), and you’re ready to go!

import requests    # Imports the library in the script
 
url = "https://example.com"
response = requests.get(url)  # Send request to website
html_content = response.text  # Get the HTML content of the page
# optionally, print it on console (see its ugliness)
print(html_content)
