import requests

url = "https://postman-echo.com/post"

payload = "hello DevNet"

headers = {'content-type': "text/plain"}

response = requests.request("POST", url,

data=payload, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

Example 7-14 shows a simple Python script that uses the
Requests library and does a GET request to the Postman
Echo server. One difference you will notice between
Example 7-11 and Example 7-14 is related to
authentication. With the Requests library, authentication
is usually done by passing the ‘authorization’ keyword
along with the type and key.
