requestsPrimitiveSample

This is a sample of an HTTP session with the Requests library Its intended use is to demonstrate an authenticated session with a REST API

I use this in an environment configured like this:

1. Pyenv w/ Python >= 3.10
2. Requests library installed via pip
3. Certifi library installed via pip
4. CERT_PATH=`python -m certifi`
5. edit $CERT_PATH to append local CA certificate
6. export SSL_CERT_FILE={$CERT_PATH}
7. export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=${CERT_PATH}

I will also typically install iPython to allow interactive queries of the API.
