HTTP POST a JSON-formatted

Hi
I'm a beginner to Python and need some assistance.
I have used a plugin for a long time named Beacon and now it has stopped working because of my App on my phone suddenly stopped working.
The reason only wanted to use this app is that it post from the provider servers and I could open IPs from the provider and not the whole internet.
Other apps post from the phone and I don't want that.
I now have a temporary solution but need to create a Python script to post to the plugin while I create a new solution.

I have following command in my app when posting and need to replicate it in Python code in indigo instead.
http://server.nu:123/?sender=my.name@gm ... vent=enter

More information about the Beacon plugin here:

Check out https://requests.kennethreitz.org/en/master/

Code: Select all

import requests

req = requests.get('http://server.nu:123/?sender=my.name@gmail.com&location=home&event=enter')


Hi

Thanks for your fast reply

I tried your code with a small change, I need to make a post instead. So I changed to post in the command.
But it didn't work. I got following error message
Beacon Error Exception: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects

import requests

req = requests.post('http://server.nu:123/?sender=my.name@gmail.com&location=home&event=enter')

Is that your only code in this script?

Because there’s no concatenation taking place in that code to cause that error, that I can see?

A POST is slightly different.

Code: Select all

requests.post('http://server.nu:123/', data = {'sender':'my.name@gmail.com', 'location':'home', 'event':'enter'})


Now i got this error instead.
Beacon Error Didn't recognise received data. (User-agent: python-requests/2.10.0, Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded)

Do you have an example of a successful call to that URL from a command line using curl? Or anything else? That's correct for the data you gave me, but I can't be sure that was complete.

Here is a snapshot from a similar application called Locative

Sending a test from this App results in this in the log in Indgo
Beacon Enter location notification received from sender/location ff0c7684-0aa0-4cea-a7b0-01cd2c9c0abf@@test

I think it's using JSON to POST but I'm not sure.

There was a typo in the code I posted. Try using this fixed version:

Code: Select all

requests.post('http://server.nu:123/', data = {'sender':'my.name@gmail.com', 'location':'home', 'event':'enter'})


If you meant the typo next to event, I spotted that and corrected it before.

Well, that's how you do it in Python. Once you figure out what the correct parameters are.

If you think it's actually expecting a JSON payload, you might want this:

Code: Select all

requests.post('http://server.nu:123/', json={'sender':'my.name@gmail.com', 'location':'home', 'event':'enter'})

YES you are the man!!!
I was close, so close, I have missed the forward slash after the port number.
Thanks alot!
